Aloha from Hawaii,
That sure looks like empire building which is common in all branches of any government.
Slow down and hire more people then get promoted as a supervisor.

Aloha from Hawaii,
It is hard to type with only one hand. We got my wife's SSN in about a week with her passport with the CR-1
visa stamp.

Hi Don,
I think there is an anti chinese bias at work here. While my wife is here now
my son is still in china an I need to get him out before he ages outin a couple
of years.

Aloha from Beijing,
Currently, the problem is the possible expansion of SARS. The odds
of dying from this disease are small but do you want to be the next
fatal case? When I get home on monday I will be in a two week
quarantine.
If there are any questions about sanitation, or lack of, in China just
visit a public toilet. The smell will remove all doubt. Places like KFC
and McDonald's have clean wash rooms.

Aloha from Beijing,
Thanks Owen for your comments about health care in China. They are
correct. Hospitals for the public are unsanitary, military hopsitals are
better and private clinics are the best. I have seen all of them. My
father in law is a retired air force general. My sister in law works for
company that has it's own clinic. The problem gets worse in the poor
provinces.

Aloha from Beijing,
When I travel, I carry my passport, tickets and other important items
in a vest with deep pockets and zippers. It is comfortable and always
on me.

Aloha from Beijing,
Not only has my vacation been extended by two weeks but getting
a flight home may be a problem. Flights to Honolulu from Osaka have
been cut in half and flights from Tokyo have been reduced by a third.

Aloha from Beijing,
This is getting scary. My vacation has just been extended by two weeks.
I have been told to wait 14 days before going back to work after i get
home. Just in case i get it on the flight back.

Aloha from Beijing,
Sounds like much ado about nothing. The references to non immigrant
visas is only a knee jerk reaction to 9/11 and does not deal with our
immigration problems. We need changes that will make the system
work on a proper time frame. The previous statements only cloud the
issue.

Aloha from Beijing,
Thanks Eric, I needed some comic relief. Keep up the good work.

Aloha from Beijing,
No problem from Beijing. I just got off of MSNBC. Most of the time I
read the news on Yahoo. The spin doctors on CCTV are boring and
unbelievable. Fortunately, I have enough of a military background
so I can understand the situation from the fragments that are presented.

Aloha from Beijing,
Congrats Enight. I am happy to see you on my side of the Pacific Ocean.
If you want warm, clean and fresh air you must visit Hawaii. I hope you
will continue to write on Candle. We need a woman's view on adjustments
to life in the USA. Not so much as the adjustment for women but the men
as well. The men need a guide for the needs of the women.

P.S. 001.com could use some help also.

Aloha from Beijing,
I just got some news from the television in Beijing. All schools in
Hong Kong from kindergarden to high school have been closed until
April 6. It seems that SARS is not yet under control.

Aloha from Beijing,
Color me green also. Congrats, have a good life together.

Aloha from Beijing,
Speaking of vitamins and other health items, a GNC store would be a
good thing. The GNC store at the Ala Moana Center in Honolulu is the
top store in the chain. A large percentage of it's sales are to tourists
who take them home with them.

Aloha from Beijing,
For the other people on the other side of the Pacific Ocean things are
pretty much normal here. The only change is the cancelation of some,
not all, flights to the Middle East. Travel and everything else seems normal.

Aloha from Beijing,
Yes, you do not have to go to the US Mainland before going to Honolulu.
The best way is through Japan and on to Honolulu. You do not need a
visa to transit through Japan. Have your baggage checked through to
Honolulu. Then you just wait in the secured area of the airport. The
shops there take Yen or US Dollars.
There are separate lines at immigration for US citizens and foreign
nationals. All you have to do is wait for the other person on the other
side of the booths.
I will be back in Honolulu on April 8. Let me know when you will be there.
Perhaps I can be of some help to you and your main squeeze.

Aloha from Beijing,
Congrats. I also thought you were already married. Have a
wonderful life together.

Congrats AZ.
Are you going to China to help with baggage. You should go there
with two large and empty bags.

Aloha from Beijing,
I am glad to see the optomist in PJ. Keep working at it and never give
up. I found my soul mate when I made 58. I got married two days before
my 58th birthday. I hope you do not have to wait as long.

Aloha from Beijing,
Welcome on board. Candle had been a great help to me. Not with
just information but with people who are like friends who share the
same problems. The guys and gals are also have fun here. I think
001.com has more fun because of my wife, Annakuen. who writes
there.
Myles aka Annakuen'GG
P.S. Owen, I think spring just came to Beijing. Buds are appearing
on the trees.

Aloha from Beijing,
There are some good bus companies. My trip between Hangzhou and
Lin An was on an air conditioned bus with comfortable seats. There was
an old Jackie Chan movie to watch on the overhead television.
By the way, It snowed this morning in Beijing. I could use a weather
report from Mick.

Aloha from Beijing,
I am an old member on a different computer. It is easy for me to get on to
001.com. I am now in Beijing. There is a major problem however, I can't
read Chinese.
I do not know why Owen was coplaining about the weather. The weather
was clear and cool yesterday. But anything below 66F is cold for anyone
from Hawaii. But that was outside. I had a lot of things to catch up on
indoors.

Aloha from Hawaii,
My guess is the Chinese Exclusion is to protect other minority interests. To
be more specific a minority that has droped to second place and is threateded
by the fast growing asian minority. This means a power shift away from the
certain minority caucus. The television networks are already shifting in favor
of the growing minority groups.
Myles.
