Juette Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 CONGRATULATIONS!!! : ) I had hoped to have my SO here by Christmas when we filed our petition last March, but it did not work out that way. I may be in China for Christmas, but I will be returning home alone. Link to comment

Maybe, with luck, we will be here by New Years Congratulations!! Have fun, how many people can say they spent Christmas in China?! Brrrrrrr ... I can. Be prepared to buy lots of long underwear and goose down filled apparel. It's really cold. In Chongqing it's bone chilling cold and damp. Too much for a SoCal guy! Link to comment

SirLancelot Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 (edited) Well looks like I'll be in China for Christmas. Wife finally got the interview date... 9.7 months. Maybe, with luck, we will be here by New Years Congratulations!! Have fun, how many people can say they spent Christmas in China?! I have several times. A few times in Shanghia and once in Guilin GuangXi. It's so sad though. Outside of big metro cities, there is NO sense of Christmas at all. When I spent Christmas and New Years in Guilin in 2002-03, there was NO celebration at all. They really don't celebrate International New years at all, only Chinese New Year. In Shanghai, it's much better but the celebration is nothing compared to Chinese New Years. As for being cold, absolutely. West coast people ain't gonna like the cold in China during winter, unless they're headed to Hanan Dao. It's nice and warm in Sanya during Christmas time. That's where I'd liked to spend Christmas if I have to be in China. CONGRATS to Stephen! Edited October 28, 2006 by SirLancelot (see edit history) Link to comment
ed and ying Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Well looks like I'll be in China for Christmas. Wife finally got the interview date... 9.7 months. Maybe, with luck, we will be here by New Years Congratulations!! Have fun, how many people can say they spent Christmas in China?! Congrats !!!! I spent Dec 2004 in Beijing with Ying, strange to see the interest in Santa, etc. Santa and Rudolph posters in our neighborhood eatery and other businesses Never forget the department store Santa that was offering a special gift package to couples who would kiss in front of the crowd. We went to some of the hotel and Chaoyang bars for Christmas and New Year eve. It was a very nice holiday season - a time a will never forget. Ying was here for X-mas 2005. PS - Shanghai, Chongqing cold ?? You should try Changchun in Jan/Feb, have many photos of everyone wearing down coats in the meeting rooms Link to comment

I'd like to see an interview date within 2 months of when the P3 is returned. Link to comment
