I live in the Peoples Republic of China, have for the last year, a transplanted American.
Yesterday I had to go to the big government office building in the city I live and get my visa extended.
1. I took the #13 bus, for 8 cents, to the building
2. I walked in, there was one half asleep security guard at the door. No metal detectors, no security camera's that I could see, no military or police in thug like black jump suites with combat boots and carrying at point a rifle.
3. I walked up to the third floor and went into the office were I was instructed to go. Since everything is in Chinese I went to the first person I saw and asked who I needed to see. They got up from behind their desk, looked at my visa and took me to them.
4. I was given a form, all in Chinese and they helped me fill it out. They gave me tea to drink.
5. They told me to come back in 4 days to pick up my visa.
6. I left 15 minutes later.
Damn they treat me nice.
