From China with Love

October 31, 2007

Well, it’s only taken me 9 weeks to get a lucky peek over “The Great Fire Wall”, but aside from that…”Wo see won Zhong gor!” I LOVE CHINA. I know, all sorts of questions and ideas pop in your head…but I’ll be the first to testify that our ignorance of this great country is greater than what we really know. We have had a great time and the University has treated us like royalty. I’m totally spoiled. I feel like a real rock star. I have a 3 day work week of about 16 hours, a nice 3 bedroom 2 bath flat, private transportation, and all the Chinese food I can eat. Let’s face it…I died and went to China!  The campus station is coming along and the initial broadcasts have been successful.  It will only be a matter of time before the ol’ Pizzeria is up and running…I know…what a trip!

Here is a stack of links to photos posted over at FB…any one can peep…Thanks again, and I strongly advice you to dust off your passport, get a visa, and come and hang out. We’re in the Southern Province about 3 hours west of Hong Kong. Until, then I’ll try to leap over again soon and update much more coherently (it’s about 4 am and I’ve been listening to Marshall McLuhan and Robert Anton Wilson most of the night…aiyyaa!)
