Chinese Embassy
Location: Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia
Local Time: Monday, April 24, 2006 - 9:03pm
Well, I thought I had a free week before flying out to China. However, I suddenly remembered, hey, I need a visa to enter China.
Without a visa, I could get there, arrive at the immigration desk, they check my passport and say, no, you can't go past. You don't get to sleep in hotel tonight, and you are taking the next flight out of the country.
That would not be so much fun.
It took me most of the morning to track down the Chinese Embassy. Buildings in KL do not all have the numbers on them. When I finally found the embassy, that is not the place they issue visas (though visas are issued at the Thai embassy here in KL.) So, I got a new address and kept on walking. By the time I arrived at the new address, it was 10 minutes past closing time for the day (11:45am). Hehehe.
So, I'm all ready for tomorrow. Hopefully they will issue me a visa in a few days, or I'll have to bump my plane ticket back.
After that, I returned to KLCC and went for the bookstore. Bookstores are always a good experience.
I came away with The Artist's Way, by Julia Cameron. Seth recommended it to me months ago when we were in Nepal, but this is the first place I've found it.
That new backpack I bought is more than half full of books. As Erasmus once said, "When I have money, I books. If there is something left over, I buy food."
Now there was a guy who had his priorities straight.
