Notice how 7 of the 8 FTers who have responded were in HKG with
GK this past weekend. We know a good host! I admit it - I'm a
GK and
Sean groupie.

Where they lead, I will follow.
BTW, for those of us holding American passports, China requires a visa. I think that we have to acquire it within 90 days of entering the country. Our passports have to be taken to a Chinese consulate for processing; they cannot be mailed in. China does this because we impose a similar requirement on the Chinese. This means (for those of us who don't live in consular cities) that we must use a visa service who will walk in the passport, or we should get our visas if visiting an international destination with a Chinese embassy.
