I can sound biased but I stand for my homeland-Taiwan. I'm banned to visit China from Passport Canada because Taiwan is not recognized as a country by some nations. Hence, why I dislike China and Chinese people so much. I do have Chinese friends but they speak Cantonese, not the aggravating Mandarin. I'm Pro-Taiwan and it's only understanble if one is Taiwanese.

Why will you be boycotting? @Aiglee - I do feel lucky! @shionge - Oh, it's the same in France, bureaucracy is a bit slow over there... I'm used to the Canadian efficiency now! I have been to China quite a few times too but I always love it ;-) @Linguist-in-Waiting - Even though my experience is different because I'm European, I completely understand you. And I agree about what to say about Americans (and to a lesser extend all first-word resident). They are spoiled and don't realize how hard it is to just travel when you're a developing country citizen. @Froggywoogie - French administration can be crazy too... I have some stories! @Seraphine - I'm not that patient either but when it comes to visas, I learned to be through my Canadian experience. And I'm with you on the "looking guilty even though you're not!" @James - I feel the same way. I don't like the current China-bashing and while I'm not the biggest fan of the Chinese government, I do think a lot of us are too judgmental and don't realize our country has its flaws as well. @Ulquiorra - Two visas and two passports? Hint: Ebay! :lol: @Annie - I'm looking forward to hearing your visa story! I'm sure you had your share, coming to the U.S...! @barbara - I'm not that much into sports either but I think it's just a great experience to go. I had the chance so... Plus, I love Beijing! @beaverboosh - Yep, in the French/ Canadian blogger category! ;-) @Eric "SpeedyCat" - Thank you for the praise, I'm blushing now ;-) @DianeCA - Yeah, the requirements changed for the Olympics... I went to China a few times and it was always super easy to get a visa, and you didn't have to have your trip planed before. @Priyank - Visa experience as well? @RennyBA - I wish I could have flew though Norway but the only cheap ticket available was through Finland... go figure! I know I'll only be there for a day, yet I'm looking forward to it. And Beijing of course! @bluefish — I learned simplified characters and even though I can read some traditional, I must say they are a bit Greek to me! Why will you be boycotting?

Like Diane said: We envy you - no reasons to boycott the Olympics - it can open the world to and for the Chinese and that's an improvement! Democracy isn't build in a decade. Trough Finland?!?! Why not Oslo, Norway and we could have a seafood delight gathering in our house and you could see the land of the Trolls with your own eyes ;-) RennyBAs last great read...<a href="http://www.terella.no/2008/07/19/torso-island-at-mariestad-the-pearl-of-lake-vanern/" rel="nofollow">Torsö island at Mariestad, The Pearl of lake Vänern</a> Must have been frustrating, but the bureaucracy rools!

I have lots of experience with it. Glad you got your visas...especially since they require you to purchase your tickets first (so nice)! Enjoy the Olympics, we envy you!! Finland isn't so bad but you can't see much in a night.
