Traveling out of the country

[Brut]

are you a U.S citizen?

Yes

My brother was there in May, you need a passport and a Chinese tourist visa (unless you have Chinese citizenship). I believe there is a Chinese consulate here in Atlanta.

Thanks peter and yeah a visa is gonna run me 130$

the hardest thing to get will be the visitation visa. If you currently work, or have ever worked for anything involved with the media it will be nearly impossible to get that visa too.

Never worked for anytime of media.
