Got my visa at last!

Today was another good day in my "man of leisure" week.

Went to Chinese Embassy and hey presto - no queues. Must be a Monday thing, the queues. Got my visa anyway at long last!

Then eventually found Donnybrook (I'm a Northsider, I don't know nor want to know my way around the South Side ;-) ) and paid for my plane ticket in Sino Irish Travel. Nice to get things sorted. Will get the ticket on Friday or Tuesday.

After that, I took a stroll around Dublin in the summer sunshine. Forgot how nice it is. Hope Dalian will be as good! Met a mate Dave and went to the pub for a bit of lunch and a few bevvies. Well, I had 2 hot whiskies, since I have a cold, haha!! Just for medicinal purposes. This is the life!!
