Vaccines

Curious what people are getting? (besides the cheap ones like typhoid)

I was recommended rabies and japanese encephalitis by my doc....they cost $400 each!!!!

Also, are people taking malaria prophylaxis?

Itinerary and hotel

I hope some of you guys were able to get past the visa hurdle and finalized your itinerary and hotel choices. I would love to hear if some of your plans are similar to or intersect mine...

I land in Xining on 20th June and leave on 21st July and planning to try out the Hospital Hotel hoping that that are still a few things we can do around the hospital...

Cheers!

Online Chinese Visas...woohoo

I found this web site, which seems to be authorized directly by the chinese government. Seems to be really convenient.

Hey All

I got the afternoon off, and in an unusual fit of inspiration decided to set up this modest blog ;)
I figure it could be useful for planning flights, making announcements, sharing ideas...etc.

Happy Weekend,
