One of Ryan’s bands got a gig in mainland China. Now they need to get visas. Even though we live in Hong Kong, we need visas to go into mainland China. The club where they’re going to play is paying for the visas, transportation and hotels, with more than enough left over. That’s why they’re going. But Ryan and the rest of the band still need to go through all the hassle of getting visas. Their drummer has been to China before and he said it can be a royal pain to get one.
They’re going to Fuzhou. It’s about an hour’s flight from Hong Kong, but they’ll be there for a week, so they need a hotel. They would need visas even if they weren’t going to spend the night. Going back and forth would be ridiculous even if it were one country, one system.
This will be the first time one of us has taken a trip out of the country, in this case not our country, without the other. I don’t have a problem with him going somewhere without me, but I’m a little jealous because he will get to see a part of China I don’t know anything about.

No hate, please. There's enough of that in the world already.
