I haven't even made it to tomorrow and am already running into problems with getting my visa application in. First, check ferry schedule; the joys of living on an island. Oh right, they are on a winter schedule - I can't catch one until 9:00AM unless I want to try for the 7:00AM. I could make that if I did not have to a blood test very early in the morning - early because I had planned to catch the 8:00 ferry, except there isn't one.
This is important because, after way much time trying to figure things out to get there I saw a notice posted by someone who said there is a cap on how many applications are being accepted per day. Right, line up for a ticket, then line up to be served, sounds easy - except the tickets are supposedly all gone by 9:30. Even catching the early ferry would not get me there on time. To either office.
Seems things must be really hopping in China - I didn't even know there was another office! Decision to check out one of the visa services in Victoria in the morning. More expensive in financial terms, but less time spent running back and forth to Vancouver. One ferry trip to Vancouver to fly out of YVR will be enough - I have made it part of leaving Canada. Slipping my moorings in a way to fly towards the unknown lands of the East.
