Frustration

posted by [personal profile] benlehman at 02:39pm on 15/03/2006
So I just got back from the visa office. My extension is going to take until monday, no expediting possible.

Well, fuck! I could have gone to Hong Kong, picked up my computer, and gotten my visa handled faster than these bozos can manage. I only wish that they'd told me (or I had thought to ask) before they had my passport sealed and filed away.

So, stuck in Shanghai for five more days while the rest of my life waits for me elsewhere. Just frustrating as all hell.

Go somewhere else in China and have them mail it to you. Don't you have an interview in Beijing?

Can I actually have them mail it to me? How on earth do I even set that up?

This is made worse by the fact that:
1) I have no mailing address in China
2) Staying somewhere new requires a passport

You just call them and tell them to EMS it to a new address...

And couchsurfing! If you come to Beijing, I'll find you a place.

I'll think about it. If I do go, I'll grab the train tonight and show up tomorrow morning.

Thanks!
