I've been trying to get a visa since July and keep getting refused. Normally I have no problems what so ever so my dads company's immigration lawyers had to get involved and still cannot help me.
Basically because of all of these Westerners that go to China and stage protests they're being VERY choosy of who they let in during the Olympics. Even if there are pictures of me in newspapers waving a Chinese flag during a torch passing ceremony somewhere they still see me as a potential threat.
These protesters are ruining it for the rest of the tourists there and people who want to visit China in the future. You can't just change a government like that overnight!
People have a right to fight for their beliefs and this whole Free Tibet thing isn't something I disagree with but do it in a country that allows you to! You're only going to get yourself jailed and deported.
Don't we get ticked off when foreigners come to our country and break the laws? Their laws are different but it's still THEIR LAWS.
When in Rome do as the Romans do! |
Hhaha. This post is so funny. You support China's laws as long as you're not the victim of those laws. And when you are, you blame the people who are trying to do something about those laws.
Your bias is showing. |

So the Canadian Shot Putter missed out on a bronze medal by 1 cm....that's nuts.
I can't believe how many new Canadian Records have been set so far. |

I don't support many of China's laws (some I do agree with...same goes for any other country) but when you're in another country you should follow the laws....it's plain and simple.
Anywho, back to more Phelps!! |

Saw some of the wrestling last night and oh dear. I thought the Kazakh chick was a man. Way too many of those in olympics lol
That Carol Huynh chick was fast and agile as hell. Like trying to grapple with a cobra. |
