<DIV>Doug and I just checked the requirements for a Chinese visa from the
consulate in New York City. The paperwork requirements have changed. A letter of
invitation is required, along with a passport and a detailed form, but the visa
will be available in about a week (which is good news). Pam Crabtree</DIV>

<DIV>Dear Xiaolin,</DIV>
<DIV> All problems can be solved if there is a
will. I also had zero problems getting my visa - it took about three hours. And
I do not think you gave me a letter of invitation. It would hardly make sense
for all the millions of tourists who visit your country every year! However,
these things can change in an instant. I once was visiting France when the
French suddenly imposed a visa requirement for Americans. The
requirement was gone in two months and yes - they let me leave the country
anyway!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cheers,</DIV>
<DIV>Alice</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As for visa, although I am not sure if it is difficult to get a
visa from Chinese embassy, I know many friends including Richard Meadow,
Anne Pike-Tay, and Kate Pechenkina (Queens College of New York City
University), T. R. Kidder (from St Louis Washington University) from US,
Richard Cosgrove and Tim Murray from Australia, Peter Rowley-Conwy from
UK, you from Hungary, and so on have never faced problems. Especially,
Kate Pechenkina have been my institute around five times. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I will write a letter of invitation <SPAN

<DIV>Dear all, </DIV>
<DIV> Xiaolin writes to say he will write a
letter of invitation for whoever is planning to participate. I think
that the best for everyone is to go to the website of the local
embassy and check requirements. Here, in Hungary the website makes no
mention of US citizens needing anything but their suitcase however it
pays to triple check these things. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best,</DIV>
<DIV>Alice</DIV></DIV>
