Hello everyone!
We are writing this time not to describe what we see or live but you report a change of route from what we originally planned.
When we were in Phnom Penh, we took the opportunity to make our visa applications to the Chinese embassy. To our surprise we will not give us a Chinese visa. We were then told to go try our luck at the Chinese embassy in Bangkok in principle more flexible. We went back to Bangkok to make our request. There, we also refused to give us our Chinese visa. Reason? China closes now its doors to any backpacker traveling on a date too close to the Olympic Games (our case because we wanted to go to China in July just before the games), especially if s acts french backpackers. The Chinese government is indeed concerned that there be demonstrations or other events of this kind.
The only visitors permitted to enter the country are people who travel in organized tour from A to Z. ..
So we first of all, try to see if it was possible to extend our Vietnamese visa (which expired early July) this was what we were told that C was impossible.
We then tried to change our ticket home, telling us that we get back so regretfully one month earlier, but this operation would have cost us over 1500 euros, so we gave up.
We then plans to go to Vietnam and then in another country and then reach Beijing at the last moment to catch our flight but it came back to take a plane ticket from Bangkok to Vietnam and Vietnam has another country and finally this country in Beijing. The fees also were too high (over 1200 euros). We
donations opts for a radical change of course. So we return towards Malaysia, yes it has been there but consoled himself by saying that it was not seen everything yet! Finally we return to a plane in Singapore at the last moment to join our original flight from Beijing.
So here for the latest news.
In addition, the school is almost over we will definitely make this blog less often that day before. Indeed it takes us a very long time (several hours per week) and is also a certain budget. However we metterons course all up to date on our return.
Thank you all still follow us in our journey, was soon
(return approach ..) and Gwen
