As I have said before, I was going to Hong Kong. Or… so i thought? Anyway, quick phone call before ordering them tickets have changed everything. “Yes, you can get the visa. No, you’ll have to stay in Hong Kong for five days. No, no way to make it shorter… but we can make it even longer if you like. No? Oh… OK then, bye!”
Now, that meant that I will have to start everything all over. And – lo and behold! – there was a solution. I’ll just have to go to H…
No, it was not Hell. Just Harbin in Heilongjiang province. One day, they said, and you get all the visa you can possibly get (180 days, one re-entry). Pretty lame compared to the original plan. A bit cheaper. Making me a hell of a lot angrier. Instead of going to the warm sunny place like Hong Kong, living there a couple of days without rushing anywhere and maybe buying some NAS device while there I have had to use the most perverted way of getting to Harbin, dragging with me some warm clothes, sleep some time, get visa, eat some bad Chinese food (which is quite a feat in Harbin, I’m telling you!) and then spend a sleepless night going back to Ningbo. Fun, eh?
