Writings and Ramblings (A/V) from Guangzhou, China

CM21 - CAUGHT! -> Deported!

Filed under: Podcast, China Living — Adeh at 1:20 pm on Tuesday, April 4, 2006

I suffered the rather dubious humility of being stopped at the entry point to China yesterday after a 2 hours train ride from HK.

The guy said, sorry, there’s no visa.

What? But I have plenty of time left…

Nope, just this one, which ran out March 30.

Oh no…

The following was recorded in my detention room, within the border zone at the Guangzhou east station.

CM21 - Caught!

Update:
I may have been a little bit melodramatic. I made it though a day in HK without incident, although I had no change of clothes and I was running out of HK money. Well, this photo is a good summery of the incident, 4 train tickets on the GZ-HK through train. Almost $100US for this trip… an expensive mistake.

4 tickets
