All I want is...

...a damn Chinese Visa!!
Why has the Chinese Govt made it so hard to get one now? Talk about being careful during the time of the Beijing Olympics. 

Here is the story so far:
Visa application one was rejected because the consulate wanted to know where we were staying on arrival in China. We booked a hotel and resubmitted. Again, rejected because now they were asking for complete hotel bookings for the entire trip!
Visa application two was rejected because the consulate wanted to know how we were getting into the country. We made up a flight number and time and resubmitted. Again, rejected because they also wanted the e-ticket number. 

What a joke. All my friends and I want to do is visit the Terracotta Warriors, see Tiananmen Square and walk the Great Wall.

We will venture into Vietnam and try to get one that way. The Vietnamese will sort us out.
