This and that, visas schmisas


 On Thursday it was a historical day for China again, the 18th congress started and they government will choose a new leadership in the incoming 10 days. As much as 90% of the 3000 persons sitting in the governmental posts will be changed. Wonder if anything will change...The internet has been slow and they even shut down the VPN services for many providers stopping anyone from accessing foreign sites or Facebook here in China...And the security measurements REALLY tight in tiananmen area, should probably go and see how it is there and take some pictures.

 The Swedish Embassy had a short morning briefing about Visas for Chinese here. At the moment it is not possible to get a Swedish Visa and then fly to Germany for example...Regulations have changed, before it was ok to fly to different destination than the issuance of the visa...Now you will be stopped at the airport (for Chinese citizens) if you have tickets to another place than your visa.
 Weather has mostly been good here but just a little cold now, jacket def needed! Still a bit warmer than Finland though :)
 Massage! I found a place just next to my house that offers 100 minutes for about 10 euros! It's awesome after a hard days work....
