I was notified by Meg on Friday that we officially have our Log-In-Date from China! Our log in date is 2/10/2010. So now we are waiting on our Letter of Acceptance before we can start making travel plans. We have up to 90 days from the date our dossier went to china (so about another two months) before we receive the Letter of Acceptance. At least we know the process is moving forward!
We are currently finalizing ideas where we want to go while we are in Hong Kong and figuring out what we will need while we are in China. I’m so excited I want to start packing! I’ve checked the weather in Ningxia and the climate seems to be fairly harsh and dry. I’m thinking we are going to need to pack plenty of jeans and lotion to keep our skin from drying out too badly.
My dad keeps telling me that the area where Saiya is coming from is mostly goat herders and farmers, I’m beginning to think that he’s right. I’ve spent a little bit of time doing research on the area and the main city (Yinchuan) is not that large and surrounded by farms and chicken factories. On the upside, the western end of the Great Wall borders the north eastern part of the city, so even though we will not get to see the great wall in Beijing, we will probably be able to see it while we are in Ningxia. That part of the Wall is probably very pretty because of the open countryside.
Now all we need is the Letter of Acceptance… One month and counting!
