She was preparing to leave for Hong Kong to find another visa alternative when she was informed she would have to pay another 5,000 RMB again, as she had overstayed her visa beyond the 10 allotted days after paying the previous fine.

... hadn't anticipated my request would be such a problem, but he refused to give me his dictionary. The other students were urging him in Chinese to cooperate, but he just got more and more angry.

I put together a set menu, selecting from some very exotic sounding dishes, like spiced pigs feet. It will either be a culinary triumph or a total disaster.
