    I think one of the ‘inconvenience’ is also the keyboard set up. Which is AZERTY, when I lived in France those keyboards were somewhat annoying since I’m already accustomed to the QWERTY’s and always mistyped the Q’s, W’s, A’s etc.

    There’s nothing wrong with it, but if you’re not accustomed to it, it can be a pain in the ass..

    Living in Indonesia for 19+ years, I’ve experienced quite a lot of earthquakes, floods, volcanoes, tsunamis, storms, you name it, we got it.

    But never have I experienced an earthquake while living in 22nd floor like just as now. going down 22 flights of stairs?

    They will definitely be quarantined in the UK. The people at Pet castle might be able to give you some more info

    Not true. Quarantine laws changed recently. A friend moved to the UK last year taking her 2 cats with her. They did not need to be quarantined at all.

    I think the airport will quarantine them, maybe not as long as 6 months, could be a day or maybe several hours to check for the conditions and certificate and such. But they definitely won’t just let you just straight walk out of the airport with the cat(s). Or maybe if you use an agent then you’ll be able to get your cat at their local branch office.

    I took my dog home once, quite a hassle. First go to a vet (bring your passport) and get your pet vaccinated and also they will insert a IDchip in your cat. After that process you should own a book containing your info and your cats info… Now comes the hard part, the airline… I brought my dog to Indonesia from Beijing, which has several airline options, the best one is to use the ones that has a direct flight to your destination because if you have to stop for a transit then your pet must be quarantined also in that transit country (for HK it was 2 weeks).. After you decided on an airline then buy a cage for the cat(s), measure the cage(s), and weigh them, that should determine the cost of the freight.. After you arrive in UK the airport will quarantine them.. In Indonesia there are some agents that can help your pets to get out of the quarantine quickly, but I don’t know if there’s one in UK.

    Nah, I think those stuff are bound to happen when they’re 2 totalitarian system working on the same thing.

    Quote:
    Totalitarianism (or totalitarian rule) is a political system in which the state holds total authority over the society and seeks to control all aspects of public and private life whenever necessary.

    and

    Quote:
    Papal supremacy refers to the doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church that the pope, by reason of his office as Vicar of Christ and as pastor of the entire Christian Church, has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church, a power which he can always exercise unhindered: that, in brief, “the Pope enjoys, by divine institution, supreme, full, immediate, and universal power in the care of souls.”

    Well to summarize all of above and I think this is the correct situation at the moment.

    China has its own Catholic Patriotic Association (CPA) that is a part of the State Administration for Religious Affairs. All worship activities must be conducted through their approval. This matter conflicts the Chinese Government and the Vatican on “who is in charge”. The Chinese CPA wants bishops and priests that conforms to the Chinese ideology and recognizes the governments supremacy not the Vatican’s. So each bishop or priest appointed by the CPA may have not been approved by the Vatican, that goes the other way around also, priests and bishop who are appointed by the Vatican may have not been approved by the CPA, which in turn cannot practice or conduct church or worship activities legally in China. 差不多。。

    Thank you everyone for the replies, I will go to the one PingAn Alley this Sunday.

    Just so you know, all “Catholic” things in China are not sanctioned by the Vatican since by law…

    Yeah, I know about this situation when I was in Beijing a couple of months ago. Anyway, I really don’t care whether it is sanction or not by the Vatican. It’s my own faith that matters.
