So today is the big step towards backpacking.
I went to the
Chinese Embassy. They've taken my passport for the next fortnight
(I hope) and I wait patiently to see if they'll permit me a visa. I know
people say, 'You'll be fine, no worries,' and I nod my head contently,
pretending they know what they're talking about when they have never
applied for one, but these things can still go wrong. Today alone, I
have seen two separate applicants coming away from a visa agent, almost
in tears.
Anyhow, I'm optimistic and the countdown until I leave for Beijing is well and truly on!
One thing that did get me through was Alice Peterson's Ten Years On novel. Definitely worth a read!
Tomorrow, I'm off to Ashford to have needles stuck in my arm for all kinds of vaccinations against South East Asian diseases. Lucky I'm not squeamish!
With
regards to my writing, I am finishing off episode four of the sitcom I
mentioned in the previous post with my co-writer tomorrow. Perhaps a
sample may surface in the proceeding days, perhaps not. If it doesn't, I'll add a short story.
Thanks as always for dropping by and best wishes x
