The embassy in Warsaw gave me a dodgy stamped in visa all in chinese that apparently (so say the border guards in Beijing) expired on the very day I arrived.
They separated me from my friend, detained me for hours, and threatened to deport me to Uzbekistan (where I'd come from. Not randomly. Though that would be way cool.)
Eventually after a lot of crying and cowtowing they 'allowed' me to pay a fine -- mysteriously the fine amount was EXACTLY the amount of $ they had found on me. Amazing that.
After that, I felt like I was being watched the whole time I was there. Boy was I glad to get to Mongolia the next week.
