No Visa for You!
It’s good that Beijing has grown on me as it has because it looks like I’ll need to spend a lot of time here securing visas for onward travel in Central Asia. I spent 3 hours last Wednesday in line at the Kyrgyzstan embassy, a random door in an office building, only to be told at 6:30 “no more visas today, come back Friday.” On Friday morning I had a go at the Uzbekistan visa and despite all my research that claims otherwise, apparently U.S. citizens need a letter of invitation. So I’ve applied for the Kyrgyzstan visa and will be here another week.
