Happy Friday!
I’m finally in New York. Hopped on a bus this morning and narrowly missed the opening hours at the Chinese consulate (which closes at 3pm - what?!) I’m a silly SF/LA native who had no idea that you can’t get a visa for China in Boston. Toto, we are not in California anymore. My flight to Germany leaves on Tuesday, which means I’ve got to show up first thing Monday morning and request rush processing. Bleh.
Complicating my travel plans … I discovered last night that I only have two and a half pages left on my passport. Technically the Chinese visa only requires two, BUT sometimes they get pissy about such things and I’m mildly terrified of Chinese people in positions of authority and I do NOT want to get yelled at by some lady who’s going to give me Tiger Mother flashbacks. I also don’t want to be yelled at by the Germans when I arrive to the Fatherland.
I’m going to run out of room for stamps by the time I get to Singapore, and I’m not going to chance it by entering China and hoping for the best. So, the question is: do I try to remedy this at the American embassy in Frankfurt and really inconvenience my boyfriend who will have to drive me there? Or should I just wing it and visit the embassy in Singapore? I am aware of how thoroughly unprepared I am to be traveling right now.
