you\u2019ll hear more from her about it all.\u00a0 The staff is from everywhere.\u00a0 Lots of unusual accents when everyone gets together.<\/p>\n<p>I take care of some financial stuff and a few emails.\u00a0 I\u2019m mostly killing time, waiting for the medical report to arrive at BISS.\u00a0 When it arrives, I\u2019ll pick it up and head over to my school so they can take care of the \u201cForeign Expert Certificate\u201d and later the Residential Permit.<\/p>\n<p>Around 3:00, I decide to go to BISS to await delivery.\u00a0 DHL delivers around 4:00.\u00a0 I make contact with BHSFIC staff and I\u2019m off to deliver the paperwork.\u00a0 I arrive at the designated subway station, and a few minutes later my escort, Amy Song, arrives.\u00a0 We walk to the BHSF main campus.\u00a0 I just now realize the International School has it\u2019s own campus, but main administrative offices are at the main campus.\u00a0 I leave my passport, Temporary Residental Permit, and Medical Report, and head back to the subway, relieved the delivery has been made.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_238\" style=\"width: 234px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a
