26/6/08-3/7/09 Chaing Mai

Main objective to GET CHINESE VISA! But as usual we arrived on a weekend & the Embassy is shut!
Checked out of boring, crappy hostel (why they kept asking us if we wanted a cheaper room with no hot water God only knows, do we look poor now?!) & walked to the Chinese Embassy to put in our application, funny security giggled at us with our big rucksacks but let us in without a search anyway! I heard security is more tight with swine flu!
Hey ho, that done off we went to our new nice hotel with air con, hot water (we hope) & cable tv.....
Here until Thursday min until we can pick up our visa's.
What to do for 4 days.......
Well we updated our BLOG which was a mammouth feat as was uploading & sorting out all of our pictures, I gave Jay that job as I can type faster!!
Well we found a proper supermarket here with actual french sticks! Yum!
Went to the cinema twice to watch 'UP' & 'Ice Age 3', UP was hilarious & the one liner when the dog is put in 'The Cone of shame' was hilarious! Didn't know that at the start of each film in Thailand you have to stand while a film clip of the King is played, very weird! J loved the reclining seats though!

Not a lot else to report really just ate, drank, got another bout of food poisoning after a dodgy burger after drinking too much with a German guy again on our last night so we had a hangover on the bus to Chaing Rai, well if I'm telling the truth we missed the bus out completly & went the next day! JJ looked after me again & went on a Tuk Tuk (who had his own business cards!) & changed the tickets!
Oh & most importantly we got our China visa yippeeee!!!!!
