We Have Visas!

[przed]

I dashed down to the Chinese consulate office at lunch today to pick up our visas. I got out of the office, visas in hand, in seven minutes flat. Yes, I timed it. I was morbidly curious as to how long it would take. It was all rather anti-climactic after the effort it took to get to this point.

We are now T minus 15 days to China! AIIIIEEEEEE!

And because we're going to have to figure out what to pack real soon now, I did a quick online check of the weather in all of the places we're going to be. (That would be Beijing, Xi'an, Guilin, Yangshuo, Chengdu, Nanchang, Tonggu, and Shanghai.) So far, the temperatures range from -5 to 20 Celsius. Bringing the right combination of clothes is going to be...interesting.

The visas were the last thing really stressing me out. Though the packing will be a challenge. I feel for your Canadian heat experience. Sounds like my first Hong Kong trip. In April, their version of heat was OMG I NEED TO CHANGE MY CLOTHES THREE TIMES A DAY BECAUSE I AM CONSTANTLY DRENCHED IN SWEAT! There was much clothes buying then, too. Which wasn't a bad thing. HK clothes are made for people my size, i.e. wee, so the shopping was awesome.
