I'm glad your having a good time Ja. I've never been to Nanjing, but I have travelled North and South. China isn't for everyone and the people I find to be nasty and very unfriendly.

The girls tho, they are everywhere and curious and very liberal with themselves, unlike much of Korea. With all that, I wouldn't want to go to China again (I've been there twice for 3 months) it's a mean/nasty predatory society.

My experience.


Well, what I was talking about compares only a short time in China to quite a long time in Korea. It's just good to have the change. I guess I had my fill of Korea.

Most Liberal girls in all of China:

Shenzhen, followed by Guangzhou.

Just walking the streets in daylight, you'll be accosted. I truely believed at first that every 2nd woman was a pro. That's how many times I was hit up Very Happy Shenzhen is prolly the pro capital of China also.

Most interesting girls:

Harbin and Hohot.

I found them to have the best personalities and they were the tallest. I'm 6'3 and appreciate some height.

I just got back from China and no one asked for Korean Alien Registration Card when I got my visa in Hong Kong. I found out that most of the information about traveling to China on Daves and from friends was wrong.
I was told that it would take 4 days to get my visa. It only took me only 1.5 days to get my visa in Hong Kong.

The police would be checking all foreigners passports for the right visa. Come to find out they are mainly checking visa's of people from the Middle East and Africa.

That it would be so hard to get through Chinese customs. It only took about 10 minutes waiting in line to get through customs. I also saw a couple of Chinese getting checked at customs in Guangzhou.

I was told that you needed a return ticket and hotel reservations to get a Chinese visa. I was not asked for either the return ticket and hotel reservation.

It was harder to go through customs on coming out of China than going into China.

It was great to walk around the streets of China and have girls actually smile at you as you passed them on the street.

I'd like more info on this topic myself, as I'd like to go to China during xmas break. Might even find a little university over there that needs a white face teacher and go to work early next year.

I'd be more interested in working in the western part, far over near Tibet or even IN Tibet. Looking to join the Chinese communist party while there, too, if they'll have me. I seriously doubt they would. I wonder if the US State Department will put me under a heat lamp after I pull that move? *beep* 'em. Give me that red pin.

My friend and I got our visas (visi?) at the Chinese Consulate in Busan, both of us have less than 6 months left on our ARC, and in my friends case, only 4 weeks. We did, however, have to provide a hotel booking for the duration of our stay (easily cancelled afterwards for a 20$ fee)

So, my advice is to take care of business in busan. Im in Daegu, and got a travel agency to take care of all of it for me.
