Are you the producer of the flyer with photoshopped pics of Gedolim? I saw one yesterday in Yerushalayim...
Not sure what you are referring to.

Well, if it was you, you would know what I am talking about.

Some ____ from the"talmidim" of the Saba made stickers/flyers against Gedolei Yisroel "mefursamim shel she...". They used photoshop...

In some countries that require visas, they allow for a 24-48 hour exception in certain cities (PVG is one)
Remember this is only for onward travel, if you're going back to where you came from in 24 hours they won't let you in.

I hear the Chinese immigration have become very strict lately.

Thanks for the post.

I will be travelling to lithuania soon and accroding to the link I need:

-Visitors are required to hold proof of sufficient funds to
  cover their stay and documents required for their next
  destination.

- Vistors are required to hold health and travel insurance to
  cover for any medical expenses.

Is this enforced? how do I prove the above?

Had I know about this group arriving on tuesday, I would have made it a point to be in the ukraine earlier.

A taxi to Haditch from kiev supposedley costs $150,
When will you be in kiev, because there will be a group bus ging to haditch thursday.
Would you know how much it should cost for a place to sleep in haditch?
Would you know how far any of the above mentioned places or lubavitch and liozna are from haditch?

There is also a Jewish cemetery there, though it escapes my mind at this exact instant who is buried there. I'll have to dredge up my pics from almost 5 years ago...

Might be going to Kiev in a few months, not this weekend. For sleeping there is a new guest-house at the burial site of the Alter Rebbe, but dunno how many people will be there this weekend. Lubavitch and Liozna are both about 10 hour drive away, but are not in Ukraine. So if u are a US citizen u will need to pay for a visa to go there.
