When I went back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs today, I had the same school paper with me that I had yesterday (the one the woman told me was wrong - it wasn't), and I brought receipts from the bank after stopping today to pull out some money. A different person helped me, a man, and he never questioned a thing, everything was fine. That other woman was making problems for every single person who went to her window - she kept telling everyone that they didn't have the right papers, something was wrong, etc. I think she just doesn't like to help people! Glad I didn't get her today.
So, on October 3 I can pick up my passport with my residency visa, then I go to apply for an Alien Residency Card (ARC). Today I shelled out $4400NT ($133US) and for the ARC I have to cough up another $1000NT ($30US). Well, it's cheaper than a plane ticket to Hong Kong, and if I didn't have this visa, I'd have to make a lot of trips out of the country and then back!

Welcome to my world, where I ramble on about my life in Taiwan and my love for Wu Bai & China Blue, and voice my many complaints. Once my life as a university student begins in September 2008, expect more complaints (assuming I have time to complain!).
Who is 500CBFan?
- 500CBFan
- Taipei County, Danshui Town, Taiwan
- Um, not much to say, Caucasian from California who moved to Taiwan in March 2005 to study Mandarin and attend every Wu Bai & China Blue concert possible. September 2008 will see me entering the Chinese department at Tamkang University for a grueling four years of study (my life will be hell, I know it).
