<content:encoded><![CDATA[Today I was denied my student visa extension. This would have been my third semester with this school. 
Of the 3 students in the interview at the PSB, 2 of us were denied for the same reason. 
The reason was NOT, as one one expect, working on a student visa or insufficient Chinese level or anything else but for having travelled during the school term last semester. I took a few 2-4 day trips to different cities around Yunnan, which they had record of from registering my passport at hotels. 
SO 
Be careful, if you're on a student visa, try to avoid registering your passport with hostels and hotels when you travel. I guess there's always couchsurfing. 
Now I have to move to another city to study or switch to a work visa. 
Live and learn]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[@ ksmcqueen Who told you this reason? Why didn't your school go to bat for you? Was the issue that you hadn't "cleared" your travel plans with the school first? Or that the school is on the outs with the PSB?

I've always wondered how much use the PSB makes of all of the data they collect on all of us. Apparently, when the political climate calls for it, draconian is the word for it.]]></content:encoded>
