I'll bet the Wu Bai & China Blue shows in Taipei were more fun! Oh my dear, I stood right in front of him, and he smiled at me - a lot :)

You must come for the big show, really.

Yeah, first row because we queued from Tuesday afternoon all through the Saturday night show! Charlene and some others did the overnight duty, and I did days, beginning Wednesday a.m. Hard work but worth it, because he was so close, and that's the best way to see WB&CB. The new CD is good, lots of "ba la" songs, and oh, you should have seen the little disco-style dance Wu Bai and crew did to "You Are My Flower" - hysterical. If you want me to buy it and ship it to you, I'm more than happy to oblige.

I'm in HK, going to pick up my visa today. At least, I hope. I forgot to bring my US driver license with me, but the lady said it was OK that I had the addy written in my passport and on my HK immigration slip. But she wants bank statements, not just the proof of sufficient funds in bank that I brought, I guess to make sure the deposits I'm making in Taiwan are all from my US account and not from a job. So, I had to print some of those to bring back to today. Thank god for online banking!

Whew, long reply, sorry ;)

I was sweating it for awhile there. They interviewed me for a long, long time, asking all sorts of questions. Guess it was difficult for the woman to grasp that I had money in a bank in America and that those daily deposits of $16,000NT were from me walking up to the ATM, pulling out cash, then going in to deposit that into my Taiwan bank. Had to give them 3 months of statements and a lot of blather of why I didn't go to school for the last five months! But, they finally gave me the visa.

It's amazing that they can think that two years is plenty of time to study a language as complicated as Chinese. I mean, I guess if all you're doing is chatting with friends, that's enough, but for someone who wants to be an interpreter, no way!

phew~~~ Congratulations on finally getting the visa then!!!

you're right, studying a language is not just about learning for a couple of years... i'm actually rather frustrated about the pace of my japanese language studies... it seems like forever but i'm still not grasping the language... but a friend once told me to be patient, as a language needs practice, practice, practice, and such things need lotsa time and effort... so i'm hanging in there... 我们一起努力吧！！！:)
