After a few weeks of playing bureaucratic bingo, I finally have my new passport (courtesy of the US) and working visa (courtesy of China.) I had to go to the People's Security Bureau (PSB) to get it and that place always gives me the creeps. To get an idea of it, imagine a building that is both FBI headquarters and the DMV....and the FBI is a little suspicious of you anyway.
The PSB is sorta like that.
Anytime you see footage in VoM or the news about someone getting arrested or their door smashed in in China, probably the PSB doing it. They're like the political police. But everything went well, paid my fee, got my passport and all is well for another 2 months when i need to get my year visa renewed.
