Happy New Year mate. Funny but I am leaving China on Monday! I have had enough... and I start a new job in Canberra (shudders) in February. I have also gone through the process of applying for visas for my girlfriend of 2.5 years who is Chinese (yes I love the women here too!), I've sponsored her to be my spouse so she can live with me in Australia. I hope it works out as cultural differences can be difficult to overcome. You will need to contact the Consulate in Shanghai for a visa for your girl - www.shanghai.china.embassy.gov.au
Good Luck and Go Port!
