I've made it to Hong Kong.
China's firewall doesn't cover this city. Because of the Urumqi riots, they had been blocking more stuff than usual. At least I had reliable e-mail.
The eclipse in Shanghai was rained out, but that's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. So it goes.
China has been very interesting. I may write about it at length at some future date, but I only have a few moments before I have to leave this hotel, and then right to airport in just a few hours.
pure_agnostic, our daughter, and I are headed to Nepal via a one night stopover in Thailand. I'm getting a little tired of travelling, but I'm not really travel weary yet.
I have no idea where my next internet is coming from. Probably an internet cafe in Kathmandu, but we'll see.
Anyway... just checking in, for people who were wondering. I've really gotta' go.
