We're off to Ancient Khmer, after an early and successful day at the US Consulate in Guangzhou. That's right--I-600A--check! Fingerprints--check! We had a few frustrating moments upon arriving at the consulate, as I thought we had an appointment, but instead had to wait/push our way into a very 3rd-world-like-"line", instead of the orderly Americaness we were expecting (hoping for). Oh well. Eventually we got to hand in all of our papers, and then a very nice man helped with the fingerprinting. I tactfully tried to figure out how we could help speed up the results without really asking. The answer: nothing, of course--wait for government bureaucracy, just like everyone else. Bummer.
BUT...now we're on holiday! While baby girl will stay on my mind, it will be fantastic to have a distraction for the next week. Plus, we have a sad history of trying to visit Cambodia and failing, so it is time to MAKE IT HAPPEN. Plus, we get a couple of days in Singapore at the end. 2 new countries in a week? Could be worse. :) xoxoxo til the next time

Let us know when you get your referral. Congrats getting the i-600a in. It's totally gut wrenching to put all that stuff in an envelope to mail it off. All those months of hard work. What a great feeling to have that in, congrats!
YAY! Lots of good news! Congrats!
We've haven't made it to Cambodia yet (although, like you, we've had plans- hopefully summer 2010). Hope you have a wonderful time.
Singapore I love. Hope you do too!
Can't wait to hear all about it.
Thanks for your comment :)
We lived/worked in Japan and miss it daily. Hope to go back soon.
I'm glad you enjoyed your trip. Yes, Singapore is rather picture perfecty, but I like it. Sort of like how I like Disneyland. But, I CAN'T WAIT for Cambodia! Thanks for sharing!
