BuffaloPaul Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 SO insisted we had to be the first one in line today to pickup the visa!! So we got to China post at 7:30 and waited in front of the door with the sign stating that is where to form the queue. At 8:30 they opened the door on the opposite side and 40 Chinese people raced to the machine to get their number. My SO managed to get number 3 and we were done by 9:07. But she was mad not to be #1 after waiting an hour Then went to medical center on Shamain Is to get vaccinations. Now enjoying her parents home in Yantai. Saw some writing on a restroom wall that said "Dan R was here" wonder who that could have been Link to comment

Trigg Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Only number 3??? She was holding back because you were there! So, besides Dan's name and the customary "for a good time call..." what else did he write??? Link to comment

sfarkas103 Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Congratulations Paul and welcome to Yantai. As I am sure your future in-laws can attest, and as you may know yourself from being here previously, Yantai is a beautiful city and there are quite a few splendid sights to see. My fiancee and I will be here for a few more days before heading to Guangzhou, but if you need anything while in town send me a private mesage and I'll give you my mobile. Congratulations to you both again and good luck!! Link to comment
david_dawei Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Paul, not surprising to hear .. We waited till toward afternoon.. took the most circuitous route possible.. no pushing by that point since someone already was #1 of the day... Link to comment
shyaushu Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 After more than 1400 posts there had better be good news! Congratulations. Link to comment
Guest ShaQuaNew Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 CONGRATULATIONS! :clapping: Paul.... You know, the pushing and shoving that most Chinese engage is quite foreign to us Americans. I was bad once in China while waiting for a subway. I had positioned myself right at the corner of where the door was to open and sure enough a young chinese fella was positioning himself behind me so he could shoot the gap between me and the door. Sensing him back there I waited for the door to open and casually raised my foot as he pushed by. He squeezed by me and quickly found a seat on the floor face first. Whoops..... Link to comment
