I am taking students on a trip China in April through Exploria.There will be between 6 & 12 of us. I need to get Visas for my students. We live in the Virgin Islands (St. John and St. Thomas). How do I get the Visas if I can't mail them in? Is there a discount for a group? We will also be going to Hong Kong. Is that a separate Visa also?
Thanks

Mr.Michael replied:
You can apply for the visa from the Chinese Visa Application Service Centre in Uk by post.

Dear Ms. Hong,
I'm wondering if you can kindly send our school a small 4" by 6" flag from China, maps and/or postcards with pictures of notable landmarks in your country?
(Sharon Lancaster, Librarian, St. Francis School, 300 E Huntland Dr, Austin, Tx 78752)
Our school is planning a Destination Reading-Reading around the World Bookfair in early September. We want to put up flags from 25 countries in our library. The students recognizing the most flags will be awarded a gift certificate to enable them to buy books.
Also, as part of our fair, we have compiled a list of noted children's authors who can present your country to our students, who range in age from preschool to middle-school. If you have any suggestions of authors you think best represent your country, we would gladly welcome those as well.
Your country has a rich culture and we hope to share it with our 400 students.
Sincerely,
Ann Denkler
Book Fair Chair

My organization is opening a site in Hong Kong in 2010. I have searched the web for alternatives to study Cantonese and have had little luck. Can you please advise me how we might offer language training to our staff or recommend some contacts for me to follow up with. Thank you very much.

Ms.Tess replied:
Ms Nancy,
You want to ask your staff to learn Cantonese? Where are they currently based at? Are they in Hong Kong?
Mar. 31,2009 08:05
Ms.Nancy McGee(USA) replied:
In reply to Ms. Tess regarding the location of our staff. At the moment they are in Georgia. Some will be moving in the Spring and others will depart over the next year.

Ms.Tess replied:
Ms Nancy,
There won't be any problems. After they move to China, there will be a number of training organizations in Hong Kong and Guangdong Province.

Ms.Nancy McGee(USA) replied:
In reply to Ms Tess on 3/31,
Thank you for this information. I will also continue to look for Cantonese language training in our location (Georgia) in the states to begin to prepare our expats.
Thank you for your help.

My chinese friend's american lawyer husband of 3 1/2 years has wrongfully charged her with domestic violence (She called the police on him!), he had her arrested for 5 days, he has a temporary restraining order against her, he has filed a divorce petition and he has taken custody of their 18 month old daughter and is trying to keep the child! Please HELP!. She barely speaks English and is getting taken advantage of by her "husband". Can you refer her to a chinese speaking attorney in this area that can help Ms. Han?
