Pops Adventures

to be safe of identity theft I've pasted out my passport number and any other sensitive information.

See picture 1 for an example of how to fill in a visa application form for China :) Picture 2 for an invitation example - remember invitations must have your passport number and date of birth on to be valid for the visitor visa application if going for a study.

Soooo the journey begins.......

When applying for a Chinese visitor VISA

As seen in the pictures attached there are many forms to fill and details to find before applying.

Documentation or things you will need:

1. Passport
2. A recent passport photo ( from the last 6 months ). - unlike pop make sure your not wearing any hats or hoods
3. A payment authorisation form - this means that the embassy can take the money owed once everything is cleared.
4. Declaration form
5. An invitation letter and agenda - if on a study ( the invitation letter should have your passport number and date of birth attached ).
6. Include a return envelop with your address.
7. Special Delivery mail service.

Suggestion: download the visa tick list first and then you can make your way down the list. Page 6 shows an example of how the visa application form should be filled in.

GANGGU

The body of this Chinese drum, also known as gang-gu or da-gu, is shaped like a flower vase, and usually decorated with floral patterns. A stretched-skin covers each open side of the wooden body, where the lower skin is typically "half to three-fifths" the size of the top skin. In the orchestra several sizes of the flower drum are arranged together and often perform melodic solo passages, having a characteristically "mellow" tone

Pops will be at the Bangor carnival where the Bangor confucius centre have prepared a drum dance ( 6th June 2015 )
