China here I come!
I found out today that I have got my Chinese visa! I hadn’t expected to get it back until Friday, and even then we were unsure if I would be granted it. This was the first time the company had applied for a Chinese visa in Delhi for a British national, and we were concerned there might have been a residency requirement. Thankfully it appears our worries were unfounded and I’m now the proud owner of another sticker in my passport!
Officially my piece of work should kick off on 2nd April in Beijing, but it appears that my team will become partially available before then. It now looks like I’ll be leaving India as soon as next Wednesday (21st March) once I have finished passing on knowledge to the rest of the India team and completed my plan.
Unfortunately there are very few airlines that fly between Delhi and Beijing, with the two main ones being Air China (obvious) and Air Ethiopia! As I’ve heard many horror stories about Air China I think I will give the Africans a try, especially as they give you a 50kg luggage allowance. At least that should mean I don’t have to have do any creative repacking at the airport this time
