Winston, so why are you still in Taiwan??

Do some checking online, because some of the larger Chinese cities (Beijing, Shanghai) now allow you to stay for 3 days without a visa.

And by the way, here in Guangzhou we have the world's 19th busiest airport, with dozens of destinations.

I'm hoping to visit the Phillies some time this year (probably Manila), but I need to get my long term China visa sorted first.

Hi all I'm at the airport now waiting for my 1am flight. I'm using my android to post this. I'm so tired. I stayed up all night packing and backing up my computer stuff. I haven't slept for 36 hours. I hate it when this happens I always seem to spend all night packing before a trip.

Hi all,
I'm in the Philippines now. Wow its amazing. People are so relaxed and easygoing. I can compliment any girl I want without feeling like a creep. It's so great to be around normal natural people again. I feel like a huge burden has been lifted off my shoulders. It's so refreshing. The difference from Taiwan is absolutely amazing. Beyond words. So surreal. The vibe here really soothes your soul. I'm in culture shock right now but in a positive way of course. I'm still in awe and taking it all in.

Also my son has really changed a lot. He no longer complains or behaves badly. He is very quiet and well behaved now. Like a different person. Quite amazing. I thought he'd never change.

Anyway tomorrow I'll probably meet up with Rock and Ginger. Talk to you all later.

I'm typing this from my android so it's taking a long time. I didn't bring my laptop with me.

I hope Winston finds what he wants in the Phillies. I thought he was after white legged Chinese ladies though .
