Bryan in Hong Kong

Yesterday’s trip to the visa office went surprisingly well, even after arriving 10 minutes before they opened to find over 40 people already lined-up on the sidewalk outside. The line moved quickly, and less than three hours later (courtesy of “rush” service) I had my six-month multiple entry visa in-hand (HK$1030). Hard to believe things went so smoothly. The office itself was very nice, they had a convenient instant photo-machine and copier in the hall, and even a Chinese antiques display. Overall it was an excellent experience, and the service was great. Not only am I now ready to fly to Shanghai next week, but next semester I’ll finally be able to go to Shenzhen with classmates whenever I want.

Ok, back to reading up on Thailand. I’m arriving in Bangkok at 10pm tomorrow and don’t have a place to stay yet, so this might be quite an adventure. Hopefully I can find a hostel or something. Next post will be from an internet cafe in Thailand…
