Mods.. Can you please find the right place to put this (haha) and I don't mean in the bin !!!
Maybe somewhere prominant where newbiew can read, bnefore going to China...
Hi guys.
This concerns Brittish MembersI thought I would write this down so that anyone thinking of living in China, and having the 'MISFORTUNE' that I myself had in 2010, could maybe benefit from my experience...
I stupidly went to China with NOT enough money, (cutting a long, LONG story very short), I ended up at the Brittish Embassy in Beijing, in the hope of being REPATRIATED back to the United Kingdom.
They did not Repatriate me, their reasons for this were:
a) They DO NOT pay for any flights..
b) They DO NOT pay for accomodation..
c) They do not get you any work...
When I told them my sorry story (OWN FAULT it must be added), the only help they offered was:
a) To let you use the telephone to call the uk
or
b) To make the calls to YOUR family, for them to help you get the air ticket
or
c) To give you a cup of coffee
and
d) They told me that, the only way that the UK Embassy REPATRIATES any one, is IF they are DEAD
The reason I am posting this is, so NO ONE, ever again, has to go throough what I went through on my last trip. It was horrendous...
Can any other members from the other continants suppy the same type of information, concerning their Countries Embassy...
