I've now received my replacement passport, so can start sorting out tickets and visas. It took the secure delivery service an attempted delivery, a letter, two telephone calls to their office, a second successful delivery (which itself involved two phone calls to the courier) to get the passport into my hands. All because the first driver decided that because the canal basin is not ultra-visible, he could not find it. It is visible, but does not prominently advertise itself.
Finished sorting out my telephone contract and number, and now all I have to do additional to that is the purchase of an international SIM card sometime before I travel.
It has become apparent that the travel situation in northern China, the Tibet Autonomous Region, and the Uygar Autonomous Region is so difficult - in terms of permits, visas, remoteness, terrain, and lack of public travel facilities - that I need to use specialist local travel agents. I am currently contacting various agencies that I have been recommended it order to get a hold of this specialist knowledge.
