Man why you gotta hate on me, China?

Talk about kickin' em while they're down.

First off the bat, my posting in this web log yesterday seems to have caused it to be temporarily blocked by the Great Fire Wall of China, although it seems to have returned to normal now.

I guess that'll teach me to write a balanced, level headed, and all together pragmatic web log about that island starting with T and ending with aiwan.

*wink wink*

Anyway, expect it to be available soon. I'll host it somewhere else and put up a link here.

Don't Tread On Me, China.

And if that wasn't bad enough (it was), the damn ATM machine ate my Visa card today, right after I withdrew money to buy my plane ticket home.

Thank god I got the money before that. But I now begin the long, arduous process of canceling my old card and getting the bank to issue me a new one. From China.

Hopefully I can get it when I get to New York or something. Oh which reminds me, I'm going to New York. Here's the itinerary:

Thursday June 14:
Depart PEK - 13:00
Arrive JFK - 14:00

Thursday June 14 - Sunday June 17:
Be In NYC

Sunday June 17:
Depart LGA - 14:45
Arrive MDW - 16:30

Monday June 18:
Start internship with Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (from here on referred to as IDCEO). [TENTATIVE]

If any of you out there have a bit of floor or, perhaps even a couch, I would appreciate sleeping on it.
