life - Also six-month visa in Kazakhstan

Our blogger from Xinjiang - temporarily kicked out of the PRC because of an urgent need of a new visa - reports from Almaty that he is getting a six-month visa back to his teaching job. While our reporter seems overwhelmed by both vodka and the sight of stunning women, it seems an interesting enough rumor to report. In stead of regular visits to Hong Kong, you might throw in an incidental jump to Kazakhstan too. Will let you know if things do not work out.
The six-month visa in Hong Kong, mostly called the 'Shenzhen-visa', allowed a 12 month stay in China, as they could be extended twice with three months.
