Shanghai Bob

If you are going to China to visit a friend, you need a letter of invitation and copies of your friend’s passport and Chinese visa. I waited three weeks for an appointment at the Chinese consulate and that’s what they told me when I went there today. I have been invited back tomorrow since my flight to Germany is Monday.

I’m lucky I get a chance to practice dealing with Chinese bureaucracy even before I arrive!
