@Tonyaod Thanks for the info. I don't need to register his birth, Because with Ireland its only if I was an Irish citizen born outside of Ireland.

It will probably take 2 or 3 months until he gets his passport. So hopefully it won't be too complicated "as usual" when I need to organize it.

And again thanks, very useful thread.

I wanted to get Chinese documentation for my son. But I was told that my son couldn't have an English name on his MCB(birth cert) if he was going to get onto my wife's Hukou.

I also got officially married a month after my so was born, Because I had to renew my passport at the time and also just turned 22 the age you are allowed get married. So we never got permission to have a baby, And we have to pay 2000rmb+ fine because of this if we want to get a Hukou.

I am in the process of getting him a passport from my country. I am wondering what happens when he gets it? Will he need to get a visa straight away or can he just leave on my countries passport? Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?

I got one year membership in Morning fitness in October 2011 for 620rmb(Knew people that got cheaper) They also had a deal 2 months later 1000rmb for 3 years membership. A thousand for morning for one year is way too much.

In July 2010 I got 2 years membership for 1200 in Surmount. The rate I was told recently was 1400 for 2 years and 1100 for one year. Im sure it could be cheaper or more expensive depending who you ask.
