All right. Have my visa and tickets in hand. I was surprised that they issued me a 1 year, multiple entry visa this time. Never got more than a 30 or 60 day single entry in the past. Frequent visitor perk maybe?

Will be arriving in Shanghai on May 24th. at 20:15. My wife, Yuan, is leaving tomorrow morning for Guangzhou and will be meeting me at Pudong that day. Guess I'll be a little blasted from the traveling, so the first night will be two beers, a little grub and straight to bed probably.

Looking forward to seeing Winston's shop while in Shanghai, and any other riders who might be around. Winston, I've got your number and address. I'll give you a call on the 25th.

I'm still hoping that everything will fall in to place for riding up Beijing way. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Cheers,

Dan K.
