Residency

We now have residency visas!!  Woo hoo!  It sucked that everything was left until the very last final moment possible, but at least we now hold them in our hot little hands and we can stop stressing over it.  They are valid until April 2011!!!  Maybe we can sign a 3 month contract and work until the weather gets warmer or who knows.  Matt and I were talking about places that we want to visit tonight and the list is just going to keep on growing.  It's just unfortunate that January / February are too cold to really travel north and I am adamant about not leaving China before visiting Beijing and climbing the Great Wall!  I also definitely want to go to Tibet and see alot of southern China, which would be ok to see during the winter months (well except Tibet would be cold too). grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Flights to Hong Kong really aren't cheap (about $600 AUD return each from Shanghai!!) and to fly to Europe it's cheapest to fly from Beijing or Hong Kong, or maybe we could do the vodka train??  Once again, decisions, decisions!  Any advice, ideas?

I really shouldn't be complaining about the cold!  Spring has sprung and the weather has been great.  I think it's become warmer here than it is in Brisbane at the moment.  It's even predicted to be 32 degrees one day next week!!!!
