Two days ago I finally received the papers I needed from China to apply for my work visa. Yesterday I went down to the Chinese consulate in Toronto to submit my application. It wasn't as bad as I expected, but it did take a few tries lining up before I got everything in order...and so my experience with Chinese bureaucracy begins.
Outside the consulate were the obligatory elderly Chinese women standing around being one with the universe, or as they like to call it, Falun Gong. Someone should show them it would be more beneficial if they could just stand up straight.

First Contact
In September I will be leaving for Chongqing, which is in south-central China, to teach at the Southwest University of Social Science and Law. I will be teaching legal seminars to grad students through the Osgoode teach-in-China program. Yesterday I had my first one-to-one contact with someone from Southwest U., so I decided that I would start up the blog. Stay tuned...
