On Monday the 13th of August, I will travel to Manchester to stay with a friend for two nights, see a gig, and get my chinese visa. WRONG. I will still go to Manchester, but I won't be getting my visa. Because I have to get my visa at Edinburgh. Nowhere else will accept my application.
Problem: Edinburgh does not do a same day service. So it means either staying overnight and paying the £15 next day charge, or going down to apply, coming back, then going down 4 working days later to pick up, then coming back. Either way, quelle chore.
Also, the consulate's website says I have to take a medical certificate. But we were told not to get medicals done here, as they would be done in China. Zenmeban?! (What to do?)
Also, still no documents (although we've been told they're on route - faxed copies have arrived, but not hard copies). So no flights can be booked to Urumqi. However, I do have a travel agent friend who has said she can do flights for hopefully cheap (although she hasn't given me any actual figures). All this stress means that I am now also scared once more, The Fear has returned. If this is going wrong BEFORE I go, what might go wrong when I'm there? AAAAAARGH.
