Flying to SFO Hi, Rachel! I took up a Chinese language course with the Shanghai Jiaotong University, School of International Education in 2002. There are a few other universities that provide similar courses for international students. I remember some of the procedure vaguely, but not sure if it has changed since. Your nanny needs to first submit an application to the university (there are some fees involved). Upon receipt of application, the school will send the admission package that she will need for the visa application in Germany. The visa issue at this point is only good for one entry and a limited term (1-3 months). When it's close to expiration date, the student will go to the school administration office to get the appropriate form for a visa renewal. The visa is usually termed with the course semester. At that time, they did not issue one-year visa for students, but again I don't know if this has changed. Check out the school website for more information: http://www.sie.sjtu.edu.cn/page/en-page/howtoapply.asp. I like this school for it's location (Xujiahui district - in town) and the school has many years of experience in international education. Hope this helps! |

Going to F1 Grand Prix We went to the F1 grand prix last year, and had a great time (even though we had to walk a long way to get to our tour coach). Some of my friends had bought tickets for this year's race, but have no idea how to get to the tracks from downtown/jing an district. Will appreciate any advice from you folks in shanghai. Many thanks! |
