I have access to a minivan that can hold up to 6 people (including the driver). If anyone is interested in going to Lijiang this weekend for the music festival than shoot me an email.

i'm thinking of doing a cycle trip soon, anyone interested?

I need to leave the country to change my visa into a work visa. I've been told to go to Hong Kong but I would much rather go to Thailand. Has anyone got any experience in sorting out their worki visa in Chiang Mai, Thailand?

thanks guys,

I checked qunar.com and the cheapest round trip to Shenzhen is 2500rmb. So, Hanoi is the cheapest option. So no-one has any experience with the chinese consulate in Hanoi in regards to visa issues????

Cheers for the advice. My school has offices in Vietnam and they said that It's fine for me to go there to handle my visa. In regards to travelling, I have a motorcycle and I will try and cross the border (I done this with Laos, so, I imagine Vietnam is also fine to cross border with motorbike). But really my question is which visa office is less likely to cause me hassle or stress out of Hanoi and HK. I've had friends who applied in the philippines and were turned down. Previously, when I was living in Taiwan I went to Macao and I was successful but flights/hotels are expensive.
