Au Revoir 2/17

We've just finished moving out of our flat, spending this morning cleaning it from top to bottom. It's sad to be moving out of 2/17 Zealandia Street, as it has been a great little flat (and cheap to boot). We've managed to find places to store all of our stuff (thanks to the parentals and Jennie) and will spend our last month at the Muttons before heading off. We decided to move out a month before we go to avoid the hassle (and stress) of moving out closer to our departure date.

Our other good news is that our Chinese visas came in the courier yesterday. We're allowed to stay in China for 60 days from our day of entry, which should be the extent of our journey (barring any unforeseen circumstances!). It's the first time either of us has had to get a visa stuck into our passport, and we're wondering why we had to send in our photo, because it doesn't accompany the visa. We came to the conclusion that they just want to know what we look like in case we commit some sort of crime!

Anyways, only 1 months to go now until we fly out. Our Chinese visas were the last major thing we had to get sorted, so we're pretty much ready to go as of today. It'll be nice to be able to sit back and enjoy the next 31 days without having to worry about a) getting all our stuff ready, and b) moving out of our flat.
