Guest Rob & Jin Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Yep, the interview day and the wait in the coffee shop is quite a experience, one I will never forget. Luckily for me Toplaw sat with me and nursed me through it. We were with 3 other guys all waiting too, only 1 got blue (not enough photo evidence), I wonder if he has got the pink by now, hope so. Gosh I remember how the tension grew as the time passed, but having another CFL buddy there was a great help for me. The emotions when Jin came down with pink are hard to descibe, such a mix, such a relief. Link to comment

bob&haiqing Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Here's the pic we all want to take ... http://jjulian.org/page3/page19/files/page19-1015-thumb.jpg ... best of luck and don't let the Chinese guards push you around ... they work for "us" and they will back down.Absolutely a great picture Jim, I certainly hope to be taking one like that on the 23rd! That is a great photo with some very happy ladies. This is the 1st time I've seen the actual pink. I always pictured it in my mind as just a little card. BTW, do they allow food or snacks to be brought onto the 5th floor, past the security check point? If people are waiting 4 or more hours to be interviewed, they might get a bit hungry.

I'm afraid no food is allowed on the 5th floor. However they do have a water cooler Emily and Jay were up there for 6 hours before being called to the window for the actual interview. Make sure your SO has a decent breakfast that morning!Thanks for the heads up Steve and Clement, I've warned my sweet fiancee Haiqing about having a good breakfast that morning just in case it's a long day and she told me she'll probably be too excited to eat much that day I can understand what she means, I don't think I'll be eating much that morning either!

I don't know of anyone else here on CFL who has an interview on the 23rd so I think I'll be going it solo. Mark will be on the same flight as I'm on going from Chicago to Hong Kong so I'll get to meet him and Steve has mentioned that he'll be at the ACH on the 22nd which I'm planning to be at so perhaps I'll meet him also. It will be nice to meet a few people from CFL. Sorry not to reply to everyone sooner but I haven't been on CFL much this week except to check the "kitchen sink" in preparation for our interview or to read a quick post. I've been up to my eyeballs preparing for my trip to China on Tuesday , I'm sure you guys know what that's like Have a terrific weekend everyone,Bob Link to comment

B)Hey Dylan, Thanks, I'll post our results to CFL as soon as we get back to Shenzhen the evening of the 23rd. We probably won't wait in GUZ for her visa as we're only an hour or so by train and since we're both taking a couple weeks off it won't be a problem for us to return to GUZ and pick it up. Yes, I'll let Wendy know when we'll be in town so she can talk to Haiqing and if they can arrange a convenient time for us to meet we'll do that. Your Wendy seems like a very sweet girl and you are lucky to have her as I am lucky to have my sweet Haiqing Have a terrific weekend,Bob Link to comment
