Insane.

That’s my life these days. So I got to Incheon yesterday afternoon, picked up my keys from Lime, and got home last night.
Today, worked on getting seat upgrades for the flights Lime and I are taking to and around Canada.
We’re flying to Saskatoon on Friday. We’ll be back nine days later. This is [...]

Me Gazing (With Hat), originally uploaded by mrgord.

I’ve been busily uploading some shots from my trip. However, many more are left to be dealt with. Since I’m shooting in RAW, it takes time for me [...]

Morning in Nanjing

Went for a walk last night and found my map utterly unreadable, and unhelpful, so I think I’ll be depending on taxis today. Here’s hoping they’re less fickle than the taxis in Shanghai, who refuse rides to places that are a reasonable distance and everything — not too far, not too close, and they still [...]

Big Change in Plans

Well, my travel companion Randy just left today, and I got some bad news from Lime. It looks like January is a much better time for her to fly to Canada then February — in fact, flying in February looks impossible, because the number of male interns who did not get a position for March [...]

Shanghai’s Frustrating Side

I’ve had a frustrating day. Some of that I should blame on Lonely Planet hyping things that weren’t so interesting after all… some of it is just Shanghai. Cabbies refusing to take you places even when you show them the Chinese text… a subway system that’s 90% doable but 10% completely incomprehensible… and touts and [...]

Access Again!

So some of the PCs in the hotel actually aren’t so bug-infested and crappy that I can’t connect to my own site!
Yesterday, Randy and I met my old student from Jeonju, Lisa. I’ll be seeing her again with a fellow student of hers, Faith, who’ll be back in Shanghai next week. (As will I, probably [...]

The Wall and Beijing Opera

Okay, all my pictures are in RAW format, so they’re only likely to get uploaded, well, maybe from Shanghai but more likely from Korea. (Depending on the state of net connections in Shangai.)\
Notes on China:
When they build stuff, they build it BIG. The wall, but also everything else we’ve seen so far has been HUGE.
Beijing [...]
