#10 Retiring Teacher preparing to teach in China (Postcards from Guilin, the beautiful)

---

My last entry finished somewhat quickly, and thought I would take the time to add some additional commentary. Only 3 more months remain until my departure to teach in China and there are still some unfinished efforts. The one year Visa does take longer to acquire. But Mr. Lee, the Foreign Affairs Administrator assures me, that it is a minor delay. Until the Visa is in my hand, I don't really want to pay for my freighter travel from the Port of Miami to Hong Kong. Since the trip will take about 40 days, at about $100.00 per day, it would be a hard blow to forfeit such an amount. On short notice, airline travel will always be available, at about $1,200.00 also from Miami Int. Airport to Hong Kong. But I have not given up hope to enjoy the freighter journey.
