China Visa

So despite all the doom and gloom news about China visas, I got my passport back this morning from the travel agency and I was given a one-year multiple-entry tourist visa. The only thing that changed was that I needed to have my flight itinerary attached with my application. However, I did not have to provide hotel/room information even though the Chinese Consulate website says otherwise. I was a bit worried since I'm staying with a friend in Chengdu and not even sure where I'm staying in Beijing.

I guess no one from the Chinese Consulate is reading my blog... or maybe this is a trap! Just kidding.
