Back to Beijing (soon)

| 0 Comments

When I made my trip to the home village back in February, I was mugged by the authorities for US$135 for a multiple entry visa. At the time, it was either get a single entry or a multiple entry visa. They no longer sold the double entry visa.

A couple of months ago they stopped selling the multiple entry visa. "Smart thing" to do right before the Olympics. Hopefully for everyone who has to work over there, that restriction will be lifted when the games end.

I'm looking forward to a trip back to BJ for several reasons. I've a friend I've not seen in a while. Would be fun for a visit. In November (!). I've been hankering for really good Peking Duck. And the BJ Capital Airport FINALLY has an express train into town.

Nice. If it keeps regular hours, i won't have to deal with taxi drivers and traffic anymore!
