Welcome back tyuti1668, it has been years since I last saw your contribution to this forum. I am not as active as I once was, and I haven't been back to China since 2019. A return visit is in the offing in the next two or three months. Hope to meet up with you in person soon.

Hello Helen and Fay Chee,
It's been ages since we last connected online. I am indeed making headway to visit China after an absence of four years due to you know what.I had my new passport in order, up to nine weeks leave granted, made photo copy of relevant documents but yet to book my passage or apply for visa.
I put off my retirement again and again. During the high of the pandemic, my company paid older employees like myself to stay home for months, yes, almost ten months! And when Omicron first appeared, there was hard lockdown and we were on full pay to have extra days staying home each week. It's a great country. I survived the pandemic well.
Earlier in the week I had my fifth jab of Covid vaccine plus a flu vaccine for good measure. I am all shot up. I have faith in modern medical science, the scientists are much smarter than I am. I don't fall for conspiracy theories. I read and watch credible reports on tv and radio. Scammers can't penetrate my defence haha. But I don't work nearly as hard as I used to.
All the best and a happy Easter.
D

Hi Douglas - You're off to China again? Good on you. My Mum's family keep telling me to go - but not sure whether I will travel again - on my own. Keep us up to date as to when you go. Hi Fay Chee - all the Best to you as well.
