Hong Kong

My grandma, mom and sister are in Hong Kong now. I am not aware they are gone yet. I will soon start to notice they are missing.

My mom and sister are really happy that someone suggested taking their laptop to Hong Kong. They are able to "steal" wireless internet and be able to stay connected with family and friends in Canada.

They went to apply for visa to enter China. That turned out to be quite an ordeal. They wanted to apply for a multiple entry visa because they planned to visit family in Quangzhou and to take a couple of tours to China. They were told that only one entry visa will be approved. They could not get a visa to go to Quangzhou to visit family. Visa will only be issued to visit immediate family and a land title document is required for the application. They went to a travel agent to sign up for a tour so that they could obtain the required documents to apply for visa. The travel agent cautioned them that there is no guarantee visa will be approved. In the event that the visa application is not successful, they cannot get a refund on the tour. What a dilemma! They signed up for the lowest price they could get so as not to risk losing too much money. They proceeded to apply for visa and was asked if they would like one entry or two entries. Isn't it interesting that they got different information each time.
