Visa progress, or not...

We are trying to get my dependant visa so I can officially start looking for work, being able to learn Cantonese at a university, to be able to live a full life in Hong Kong. But it's not easy. I went to immigrations today, for the second time. The bureaucracy at Hong Kong immigrations is not much different from many other countries. There are so many forms to fill out, they need the right copies, translations, originals etc. Yeah, we who have applied for visas before know how it is. 

I was hoping that I got all the paperwork today, since I brought everything that the immigrations officer last time highlighted for me to bring. Still there was another form that we apparently needed to fill out and another piece of paper missing, that we didn't know was necessary. It's always like this though. I hope to have everything ready by this week at least. My tourist visa expires soon as well, so I want it all to be handled as quickly as possible. Otherwise I will have to leave the country and come back, which in reality means a trip to Macau for a day or a night. That could always be nice of course... 

Well, soon it should all be ready, I hope anyway. Keep your fingers crossed for us!
