<div>Dear Marloes,</div><div> Maybe I missed something but last year I could get a visa in a few hours to China - normally (with non-dummies who remember that they NEED a visa in due time). </div><div>Here is information for a tourist visa for 30 days which is what you all need as issued by the embassy in Budapest.</div>

Dear all,<br> <br>A visa for China requires a lot of paperwork and so on, but if we can get a formal invitation from a Chinese resident it is much easier. At least this accounts for Europe, but I am sure this also applies to America.<br>

<div>Hi Alice,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Doug and I are facing the same problem. We need to be in Honolulu for the
SAA, and we will try to go onward to China from there. I have a lighter teaching
load in the spring, so I can probably arrange the time off with some creativity.
My travel funds will take me as far as Honolulu, but Doug is retired and may
need some help. We are both so excited about the possibility of going to China.
We have some really interesting worked mandibles from a first millennium BCE
site in Uzbekistan. The site was excavated by a Chinese colleague, and she is
very anxious for us to present our work in China. We also have a Chinese PhD
student in zooarchaeology here at NYU this year, and she is going to try to make
it to the conference. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Do you know how we get a visa for China? Does this take a long time?</div>

<blockquote style="padding-left:1ex;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid">Dear Petar,<br> Absolutely - this
part of the year is going to be really<br>exciting. Actually, Anna will be
in Moscow so if you ever had the urge<br>to visit your northern cousins this
is the time to do it. I flew to<br>China with Finnair via Helsinki and was
VERY satisfied. I suspect that<br>if you order the flight enough in advance
you can get rather cheap<br>rates. I am in a bit of a trouble over the China
trip and how I will<br>organize it because the previous week I must be in
Honolulu for the<br>SAA's. Danny Bar-Yosef and I will have a session on
beads and<br>ornaments. We are also seriously considering starting a
peer-reviewed<br>on-line journal for archaeological beads and ornaments so i
really<br>must make it some how to that meeting. Maybe my best bet will be
to go<br>to my father first and from there to Hionolulu and from there to
China<br>and then back but it may kill me.<br><br>Love,<br>Alice<br><br>PS
Xiaolin was very worried that no one will want to come. It was my<br>idea to
throw in the warriors. Zhengzhou is a horrible hole of a place<br>however
the provincial archaeology is totally and absolutely<br>unbelievable.<br>
