Kim-saru Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I leave here on 22 in the morn and get in GUZ at 11:10 their time 23 Sun night. BTW snitless is slang, not found in the dictionary, but I like it. We use "swag" and "guesstimate" a lot here in my architectural firm. It was a joke my wife booked a room at the Yang's today. How many days will you arrive before your interview Cedarreefer? Link to comment
katnreno Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Today my wife had the pictures of us together covering 6 years printed today.....that was a ton of pictures but only represented 1% of the total pictures we have together.....over 100 gigs of pictures. She's done with her medical and has it in hand. Her train ticket is booked and she leaves for GUZ in the morning. 4 days and counting until PINK!!! We are still trying to find the best cruise ship for her to take to America since she doesn't fly. Most likely she will take a cruise ship from South Hampton in England to NY. There doesn't seem to be any cruise ships in China (HK or Shanghai) that goes to America. Link to comment

katnreno Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 My wife has arrived in Guangzhou and has checked into a room at the Yang's. She was happy the hear when Mr Yang told her that 23 of the 25 people received pink in August so far. Link to comment
jin01 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 My wife has arrived in Guangzhou and has checked into a room at the Yang's. What is the price for Yang's and would you recommend it? Is it within a short walking distance from the consulate? Thanks! Link to comment
katnreno Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) What is the price for Yang's and would you recommend it? Is it within a short walking distance from the consulate? Thanks! She's paying 120 rmb for the room. It's small but nice and clean with internet and cold A/C. The hotel is in the same building with the consulate, which is fantastic. It's less than 10 minutes from the train station. 5 minute walk to the airport bus. The negative is the noise level in the hotel. Her neighbors are really nice but she can hear crying babies, lots of talking and a couple of neighbors playing loud music in the evening at bed time. She will move to a larger room tomorrow with hopes of quiet neighbors. After the interview she will definitly move to another hotel as she waits for the visa. Apparently the street is littered with hotels on the same block as the consulate so I don't think you have to worry about it. She also did some price checking and found a lot comparable hotels near the same location for 120 to 240 rmb. Edited August 16, 2009 by katnreno (see edit history) Link to comment
