Fucked up vacation planning

I'm heading out Hainan island in China with Patrick and Lily. We're going to the quieter beach area of Yalong Bay and staying at a place called the Mangrove Tree Resort. It's been a huge pain in the ass so far. We bought our tickets last minute thanks to trusting someone else to do it and are now flying in and out at some fairly fucked up times. We fly out at 9:30pm and land at 12:30am. The flight back departs at 1:30am and we land back in Korea at 6:30am. Some wires got crossed between myself and the travel agent and the final ticket price was about $100 more than what we expected. The ticket now cost more than twice what our friend said he could get it for. This was all done in the past three days because said friend was acting like a bitch because he wanted to go on the trip but hasn't been able to get the time off from his job. So instead of telling us the situation, he decided to wait until the last minute and fuck nearly everything up. That rant could go on longer but I'll cut it there.

The whole visa process has been more difficult due to the Chinese government changing visa regulations. I'm not sure if it's because we're in Korea on not but when I checked the Chinese embassy sites in the U.S. Americans could get multiple entry visas for up to two years. As it stands now we are paying $140 for a one month visa. It's $50 for most other countries. On top of that no one in Korea can apply in person. Everyone has to go through a travel agent. Also, in order to get the visa we needed to have our accommodations booked. We did that and got a really good price, until the next morning. I'm not sure what happened but the price of our room jumped up by an extra $40.

The three day trip already costs over $1000. It fucking better be the Hawaii of China or whatever the fuck they call it. And Korean friend mentioned in paragraph one is on the shit list until further notice.

Yay! Already an update.

The card we used to pay for the tickets is over the limit meaning we don't have tickets yet and our visa can't be processed. There is a good chance we're not going anywhere. That said Korean friend should see if he can fly because he's likely to get thrown from the roof party barbecue next Saturday.
