Not just an ordinary map, mind you. A map of the United States of America. Not just an ordinary map of the United States of America, mind you. It is all in Chinese!!
My friends sons passport got misplaced and after tearing apart the house for four days they decided they had to get a new one because the Visa was going to expire on the entire family's passports and you only have a certain window where you are allowed to apply for new ones......
So on Monday I went with them to the US Embassy while they applied for it. I really wanted to see the Embassy and this helped for any future issues I might have....I now know how to get in....American passport holders go to the head of the line! And it is a long line. I would show you pictures but since you cannot take even a cell phone into the Embassy I didn't get any:( The Embassy opens at 8:30, we arrived about 8:20 and the line has about 100 foreigners in it outside the building but then as we went in it was obvious there were more like 200 worming their way through the labyrinth. We just followed the hallways up to the American only section, no waiting on this day. I am sure it isn't always like this, I think we were lucky:)
When we got there all these people were running about in the street passing out these flyers. Not very helpful to us but the Chinese need to be able to say/show where they are going in order to get their Visa to go to the US.
Sorry the pictures are not so great....little camera, glossy paper.....
Oh yes, I have had a helper this morning. She is so sweet:)
This only took a million years to post.....so love blogging in China!
Love, fondly, sincerely,
