Tightarse Visa Run

It’s been too long since I have posted, but I’ve been waiting for something really interesting to happen.  It happened last weekend.  You see, because Tanya and I have been living as an affront to God’s law for the past 9 years, the Chinese government forces Tanya to leave the country every 40 days.  Happily we’ve managed to jet off to Singapore, for a work trip and we went to Japan for golden week (posts to come) on FF points, so we’ve kept the costs to a minimum.

However, for visa run number 3 the time had come to put my hand in my pocket and being a total tight arse, there was no way I was paying RMB 2000 to fly Tanya to Hong Kong and back in a day, it’s a Capricorn thing.

So, I needed an alternative.  Sure you can fly to Hong Kong, or South Korea, many do, but these destinations didn’t fit my tight arse criteria.  A quick Google search yielded option 3, Zamyn-Uud.

It all sounded so easy, cruise up to Inner Mongolia on a sleeper bus (卧铺客车, yes, you read it right, sleeper bus) , arrive in Erlian (二连), slip over to Zamyn-Uud in Mongolia, pop back over the border to China with the trusty Chinese exit stamp in your passport and your all done, a snip at RMB 400 return!!  Way cheaper than RMB 2,000.

More posts to come……..stay tuned.
