Have fun. Only drink bottled water else the you will run out of Pepto.

We checked Legal alien allowed to work. Our card says work allowed with DHS authorization.

Very valid. Dont know if anyone remembers but a few years ago the Chinese airforce intercepted one of our "state of the art" spy plane and forced it to land in China. The excuse given was that it strayed into Chinese airspace. Ever wonder why they did that? Edited to add: A story that was ignored in the US press... Last year a military cargo plane (If I remember correctly, from the UAE) was on a refuelling stop in India on its way to China. The plane was carrying US made Harpoon missiles and this not on the offcial cargo list of the plane.... Need I say more.

Well, it most certainly wouldn't be the first time that during China's 5,000+ year history a popular uprising destroyed a standing army and overthrew the government. Quite right Bill...IMHO those who think all this is completely impossible are whistling past the graveyard... Just remember what happened in the Soviet Union.

Thanks for the update but you left the most important part out. Where is the bachleors party?

Congrats and Goodluck and remember we need to see pictures specially the ones after you get stoned.

Dont worry. He will do just fine. My wife had never been out of China and she made it the US on her own without any problems.

Fen signed everything in English.

congrats! let the games begin.

or how many times and why he slept on the couch Goodluck to you. You should have no problems.

Your time is just around the corner big guy. B)

We use dianhuachina.com it works like a calling card.

Goodluck and do not bother with any shopping. Just as an example (and trust me I can go on) Before Fen came I went out and got bath towels and wash cloths, shower curtain and bathroom mats all color coordinated....... what a waste........she just took her towel out and replaced it with what she got from China.

One word of caution. If you are flying to ths US the airline is required to send passenger information in advance and that is how we know if someone is flying on a one way ticket, a huge red flag. Not sure if China requires it but if it does then the govt knows you are flying on a one way ticket making having a paper ticket redundant.

Goodluck!

Me thinks you will have to pay the $131 again for the previledge of the interview.

Goodluck TK. I beleive the Medical exam , police certificate are valid for 1 year.

I've come through LAX three times in the last year from international flights and this corresponds with my experiences there. Meet her as she leaves after customs and the two of you can go to your next flight. I guess it's too late to counsel this, but I also agree with a previous poster who suggested you spend the night at one of the hotels near LAX (about $75) and go home the next day. Leaving LAX at 11pm? And you're flying to Georgia? I guess you'll be on the airplane all night... tough way to be introduced to the US. The last time I came back from China, I got into LAX about 6pm and (thankfully) it was too late to catch a plane to Austin. I spent the night nearby (free shuttle to and from) and flew home the next morning; much more sane experience IMO, and I think it helped lessen my jet lag, as well. Yea......well......looking back that would have been a really good idea. Too late now though . We were not really thinking about all that....just her getting here. Not only will she be on a flight all day and night...so will I........sort of. I will leave my house at 8am March 7th to get to Airport for my flight. I land in LA at about 1:30 and her flight does not get there until 5:50 and then she has to go thru Immigration and customs. Then we get on a flight that lands in Atlanta at 6am and then...........................we have a 2 hour drive home that will be worse due to Monday Morning traffic that is worse than LA. Yes Atlanta traffic is that bad Kind of poor planning....we will do better next time. Atleast we will be able to sleep most of the day on Monday I did tell her that we need to wake up about 2 and then go back to bed at dark. Better to try to sleep when dark outside and stay awake in sunlight. So when will you have time for sleep? Time for sleep? He is not going to have energy for much else either.

This is whats new Blame it on Dan. http://candleforlove.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=40754.

Thanks a bunch Dan. I read in one of your posts about Yu watching PPTV. So the nice guy that I am, I put it on my laptop for Fen. She watched CCTV CNY programming and since yesterday my laptop has been playing a Chinese soap nonstop. 25 episodes, about an hour each. She is onto #14 now. Sigh.

That cat needs to bite u in the ass.
