Willy The Londoner:
It has been great to hear two more accounts of first time visits. Taking off that beard has taken off a few years from your visual age. ;D
It is far easier for others to get the Single Cert than for UK Citizen. Remember for a UK person to apply at the Embassy in China for a single certificate they have to have lived in China for 21 clear days.
They then apply and can leave the country if the wish as it is another 21 days before the paperwork is done and the certificate is issued and sent by courier to you or your future wife.

Hey Chris, sorry to burst your bubble...

My 1st visit was Changsha. Fantastic food! Each day. Every day. 1st experience was a fish soup, looked like a 'carp' floating in dirty dishwater. Looks are deceptive:).
Again, another time Handan. For whatever reason, a lot of the restaurants & my hotel featured soup. My favorite discovery 'cream of radish'. Go figure.
You will have your China discoveries. In time.
Changsha traffic has to be seen to be believed. Anything paved is fair game, including sidewalks. Think of thousands of salmon returning in their natal river.
This is serious stuff. Speaking of fish, I take it you fly- fish; also, 'catch & release'. Be prepared for Hong's displeasure.
fivetrout:
Fly fishing is about education and conservation also. I will teach both Hong and her son how to fish and that the freezer not need be full of fish. If trout is on the night's menu, then of course a fresh trout will be kept. What bothered me in China was: at a small sidewalk cafe in a small village, we ordered chicken, the cook came out with a live, dirty bird for our approval. We nodded yes. Thirty minutes later out came our meal with contained only neck parts, organs, and chicken feet plus small scrapes of the bird. Where's the good stuff? :(
