I am going to China on April 2 with a school group. I got my visa a little bit ago. Then a few days ago, I found out about having 6 months left on your passport. I’ve gotten two different answers. One says that the 6 months have to be there on the day you apply for the visa, which is true for me. The other answer says that I have to have 6 months left on the day of entry into the country, which is bad considering I’ll have just less than 5 months. On the Chinese consulate embassy website, it only talks about having 6 months when you apply for the visa. But the travel agent said they still might turn me away, or otherwise just give me a stern lecture. I’m wondering if anyone knows if you have to have the 6 months left when you apply for the visa or when you enter the country? That would be a huge help! Thanks!

I have spent my life being adored, loved, and petted. I have been called beautiful, lovely, gorgeous, and perfect. I have been driven to Paris, New York, Guatemala, and Hollywood. I have been fussed over by superstars all over the world. I am on the front covers of People, Star, Ok, and Cat Fancy. I have met the President of the United States, Guam, and Iraq; the Queen of England; and the rulers of Germany and France. I have been onstage with Brittney Spears, Angelina Jolie, the Jonas Brothers, Brad Pitt, and Beyonce. I have modeled clothing from Calvin Klein, Kenneth Cole, Ralph Lauren and Liz Claborne. I have eaten foods from around the world: calamari, caviar, and fried chicken liver with a pinch of salt, nutmeg, and lemon flavoring (just the way I like it).
Many adoring fans watch me as a wake, eat, sleep, dress, and walk. People photographers watch day in and day out for a small mishap, like having liver all over my face after looking up from my silver and pink monogrammed and specially engraved diamond bowl with the cute little emerald bows on the side or tripping on my chocolate brown dress with the long train and falling on the ground, messing my dress and freshly groomed hair. I must say, it is rather tiring to be famous, not that it is not fun, of course. But I must draw the line somewhere. Just yesterday I was reading in Tiger Beat, a teen magazine that is mostly about teen stars, that I was the most famous cat in the whole world. Now, the “most famous” part I do not mind, but being called a cat is not satisfactory, especially not after a huge breakfast of deviled eggs, and warm muffins. Just because I have to look up at people and have a lighter color of hair than most (it’s, like, almost white) does not mean I am a quote un-quote “a cat”. Where do they get this stuff? That’s, like, almost as bad as being called a midget. See what I have to put up with day after day?
I have never looked in a mirror or at any of my pictures. I find it quite alarming how it turns my energy way down and I can never focus on my work. I mean, one time I looked in the mirror before a show and got the biggest shock of my life. Whoever had dressed me had done a really good job at decking me out for Halloween because I looked like a cat….a cat wearing my blue sequined mini. I have to say I took no time in calling my agent and firing the woman that thought it was funny to dress me in a Halloween costume before I was about to do a show. Just to tell you, that night, I was so upset, I almost spilled my double chocolate chip frappicino and I only get one of those a year (my agent thinks I will get to high on sugar and die, poor dear). After that small setback in my career I promised myself, no more pictures, no more mirrors, no more reflections in pools. I do not need to get myself overworked before a show.
Today, I have my biggest show yet. My agent and I are going to speak at Idol Gives Back, a “helpful” version of the much famous American Idol. I totally have to wear my new strapless dress. First of all it is purple, the color of royalty and second it makes be look about three years older. My agent and I travel all over the world talking about the time I saved the Prime Minister of China from eating poison liver(yawn), the time I saved Anne Hathaway from choking on a overly huge sour grape(no big, honestly), and the time I saved Dakota Fanning from a burning house(now that was cool). My agent has to do all the talking for me due to a birth effect that leaves me squeaking like a baby when I try to talk. I have trained my agent on exactly what to say and when to pause to let my jump in. Normally, I would let my agent do all the talking, but the audience loves it when I jump in with my own opinion. It doesn’t really matter what I say, just that I say something (I usually just limit myself to one word at each pause). Yet, I still do not see why there is the resounding “Awwwwwwww” that follows each word I utter.
Today is the day. It is November 13, and after a two-year boycott, I have decided to look in a mirror. I mean, I am only going to meet the new president. I honestly cannot trust my make-up artists to make me look as fabulous as a can be. I must look in a mirror. I have dressed my best today. My navy-blue sailor suit looks beautiful with my white rain boots (they actually look good) and my hair is styled to perfection with little navy hair clips. Nothing can go wrong. I might even suggest to my make-up artist that I should wear a little mascara that my agent always wears, or maybe some lipstick.
I am totally closing my eyes as I walk up to the mirror. I know my agent and make-up artist are right behind me but I am still nervous. My nose touches the mirror and I make a mental reminder to ask my make-up artist for a face-lift or a nose job, my nose is just to flat. I hear my agent counting down behind me. Three…Two…One…I open my eyes and…see a cat. I spin around, blink, then
look back in the mirror, the cat is still their. Maybe I’m losing it. It is nowhere near Halloween and I watched my make-up artist carefully as she helped dress me. My agent scratches my head and I understand in terror that I am a cat. I am a cat… that means I have to start using a litter box, eating cat food, and going out without cute outfits. I break free of my agents grasp and run to my ruby encrusted Mac book. I carefully go to the Internet. I must research right away, causes that turn a perfectly famous person into a cat. Do you know what this means. I can never leave the house again. I am no longer a short person with a strange birth defect, now I am a cat. I must go curl up in my pink and yellow plush bed and think about these strange happenings.

Kylie asked:


Probably in 2011 around July – August for my partner’s 30th birthday. For anyone who has been there on holidays, I was just after a bit of a guide. Travel agents are a rip off, I was thinking about organizing my own itinerary. I want to go for about 2 weeks.
What are the best places to go?
How much roughly will the whole trip cost me?
How much spending money should i take?
I know i need to research more on this, but was just hoping for a rough idea.
Thanks :)

Jie Z asked:


So my dad bought an open flight ticket to China from this traveling agent and a month later he wanted to come back and called the numbers that the traveling agent gave him to set the return date. However, it turns out that none of the numbers exists and when he called the traveling agent for help, the traveling agent in US told him the nearest date he could come back is Jun 3, that is in almost two months. I thought open ticket were supposed to have flexible return dates and a date that is at least close to what you want. What should I do? There is no way he is going to stay there fro another two months. Is the traveling agent also responsible for this? My dad really have to come back by the end of this month. thank you.

I would like to visit China, see the Great Wall and visit the Forbidden City…do they deny visa applications for single entry?

Should I go to HongKong and ask travel agents there to arrange for me a Chinese Visa to Beijing and Shanghai?

Thanks

One of our classic tour is: start at Chengdu, Daocheng–Yading (a place that you can see all the nature colors in the world) in Sichuan province to Meili Snow Mt. in Yunnan province, than towards Lhasa in Tibet. We’ll go to some special sight-seing by hiking which the usually travel agent can’t reach, others by cross-country van.

Meh asked:


I am an American citizen, and will be going to China for two weeks in July. I’ve been trying to figure out how to get a travel visa, but it seems like every other site I land on ends up being a broker of some sort that I can pay to make the arrangements for me. What’s the easiest way to get a Chinese visa without going through an agent? I live in NYC, and already have my passport, if that’s any help.

P.S. asked:


will the parasites find a way to take over the newly transformed host again and continue its bloodsucking ways?

Parasite type 1: Agents, brokers – all but replaced by the internet (stock brokers, travel agents, insurance angents, and soon real estate agents) almost extinct (thank god).
Parasite type 2: Labor Unions – irrelevent, evil, and fortunately on their last crippled, diabetic leg.
Parasite type 3: Beedy eyed, beak-nosed lawyer. Still thriving in America, but doubtful they will be able to suck the blood out of China, India, and the Arabs who will be owning the world soon enough and will not tolerate these sickening ambulance-chasers. Prognosis, not good for Parasite #3…

So, do you agree that these parasites are finally almost gone, or will they come back with a vengeance to plague earth again some day?
