With much packing still to go, I'm excited about this assignment. Have secured all of the necessary paperwork to enter into China and work for the 4 months ... and learned a lot about how to take a great passport photo. To secure the paperwork, I had to provide twelve photos that then were hand-delivered with the forms to the government buildings in Hong Kong. Thankfully, our consulting company(Fragoman) had the required expertise and made it all happen.
Once I'm in Shenzhen, I'll need to reside there for three weeks, have a physical exam (cough, cough), and secure a residence permit before I am allowed to go to other areas within China (like Hong Kong, Beijing, etc). Let the adventure begin!
