Shanghai Bob

I got a two-entry visa good for six months.  It cost £85.00.  They don’t tell you they only take cash until you are already in line, I was lucky I had just gone to the cash machine.  They also asked for my old passport since my current one is brand new — more luck that I brought it with me just in case.  I got around the invitation problem by booking a hotel room that I can now cancel.  A lot of bureaucracy and three trips to the consulate, but now I can go to Shanghai!
