A little background on the hectic summer we had before going to China.
- We left Korea at the end of May
- Arrived in Cyprus for 3 weeks to spend time with Neil's parents (my in-laws)
- Traveled to the UK (Sheffield) to attend Nicole and Dale's wedding (new sister and brother-in-laws!)
- Descended upon Las Vegas with family and friends in toll
- Got married with 60+ guests
- Honeymooned in L.A. for 2-3 days
- Returned to Vancouver for 3 weeks
- Embarked on our adventure to China via Hong Kong stopover
We did all of this while preparing for our big move to China! Which meant, packing all the things we'll need (unable to get in China) and making sure all our paperwork is correctly done.
Some of the things we did to prep for our big move included:
- Constant communication with the visa handler to get our invitaion letters, visas, etc. (A separate post on this)
- Purchased a year's subscription to a VPN service (in order to access blocked websites in China such as gmail)
- Purchased and packed clothes for the summer. The weather in SZ is considerably more mild, hot and humid. Clothes are professional looking while able to withstand the constant sweating that will ensue. (It's easy to buy clothes in China, as I have found out unless you are very tall and very big)
- OTC drugs - packed as many as we can - things like cold meds, antihistamine, supplements, ibprofen, etc.
- Packed pictures and personal touches that reminds us of our friends and family
- Notarized, photocopied all our paperwork
- Take passport photos - a lot of them
- Exchanged money (HK and RMB)
And most importantly make sure our suitcase is under the limit.
