AirBnB- If you're staying for a week or more, traveling in a group, need more space, want a kitchen... try renting an apartment. There are also rooms for rent like a homestay or clean and organized couchsurfing. Most of the hosts in HK and China are expats and well-traveled locals.

I flew ANA/United codeshare Japan - USA this summer. Both were operated by United but had totally different vibes. Osaka - SFO had helpful staff but no personal tvs. Chicago - Tokyo had surly nitpicky staff but personal tvs. Idk with codeshares everything is unpredictable. But because I had an ANA membership my overweight luggage was $60 instead of $200 and they bumped me up to Premium because I had some soon-to-expire miles. : D

Japanese tv reports a jeep drove along the sidewalk, then crashed at the bridge at the front middle. At least 2 of the passengers are said to be Uyghur, but whether it's meant to be a statement or just terrible driving is still undetermined. NHK did explain where Xinjiang was and that there's been some horrible riots before.

Ya gotta crush the whole thing into little bits to get all the meat out. Alternatively, if it just molted, it'll look great but have little meat.

Japan/Okinawa makes something called Taco Rice, it's like a taco salad with rice on the bottom. Rice -> lettuce -> seasoned meat -> cheese -> sauce/salsa.

Customs forms often have a little box to check about carrying "samples" but I think that's more like multiple identical products for display or give-away like trade show stuff...

China hating Japan, sounds like sour grapes to me. Meanwhile, Japan loves Chinese people because they spend so much money when they visit. Spring Airlines is increasing it's Shanghai - Takamatsu flights. As much as the governments dickwag, anyone born in Japan after the war doesn't give a poo poo.

Wonton said tourist visas are decided by hukou (family registration?) so Henan scrubs aren't coming anyway. VVV Tourist visas for Chinese visiting Japan. Rural citizens gotta come on group tours but hukou from major cities can get general tourist visas (they're less likely to overstay and work illegally) peanut fucked around with this message at 12:40 on Mar 2, 2014 |

Look up "visa expedite service." I've used A Briggs before. Strict countries require hand delivery of application but don't care if someone does it on your behalf.

The US Embassy website will definitely have all the applications and list of documents on their website. You'll need to sort out marriage documents locally first.

Real LDS missionaries can't work, but I've heard Chinese-speaking ex-missionaries (Taiwan mission) might get recruited to a Mormon-heavy company with a churchy social atmosphere. LDS missionaries in Japan teach some English lessons for FREE so people aren't scared of them, and also because they have too much free time because Japan is super unlikely to convert to a religion that bans tea and spending money on Sundays.

Mormons don't believe in hell so they're pretty chill  Ex-missionaries have already been sent to strange places they didn't choose doing an unpopular job so teaching English in Henan is easy.

Ask your banks about details on transfer fees. When I send USA-JP, if my US bank converted to yen they took a big chunk out if the rate (\104/$1 - \99/$1) and killed my margin. If I left it as USD, my Japanese bank exchanged at-rate plus a $30 fee. I profited 3%. We're also saving up for a house, but very soon and in Japan.
