Well my historically trusty laptop has given up the ghost for the time
being. I'm posting from my phone, so my posts will be a little more
rough until I can get the computer fixed. Just another week and a half
in Beijing, then time for Hong Kong and Shenzhen. Feeling
particularly cut off from the world outside China these days - somehow
the powers that be decided that a good tribute to the earthquake
victims would be to cut off all foreign television programming for
three days. (to be fair, this was an extremely grave event - the
ever increasing official death toll numbers speak for themselves, and
unfortunately a lot of sad, gruesome, and heartstring tugging
anecdotes have emerged from the event. It's been unpleasant going
about 'business as usual' in the city feeling unable to do anything
about something happening not to far away apart from the odd donation)
So don't be afraid to send a message my way so i feel in touch. By
the way, one benefit to posting via phone is easy access to a chinese
script interface - 我想学习汉语在北京! Two points to the first person with a
translation. If you only see a bunch of squares, don't sweat it,
your browser doesn't support chinese. Or, maybe i just felt like
writing the character for 'mouth' several times.
