That I leave for China. It is now the 27th, and my first flight leaves in 10 hours.
At 10 am my flight leaves Portland, OR to San Francisco. Then at 2:30 PM I leave SF to Shanghai.
In case there is another plane crash that day, I will let everyone know my flight numbers.
My flight to SF is United Airlines flight 289.
My flight to Shanghai is United Airlines flight 857.
If either of my flights crash, then I would be royally pissed. I've been looking forward to this for a long time.

slightly paranoid are we? you know they found out that 666 isnt the mark of the beast... yeah the devil decided on 289 so you should look out.
Have a safe and productive trip and dont eat anything that dosnt look and smell normal cause over there it really isnt.

There have been 5 airliner crashes this month. I think you would be too if you were in my position. I just don't want to be on number 6 (should there be one). :p
-
Good luck, what are you going to be doing in China?
-
Teaching conversational english.
EDIT: And the flight from SF to Shanghai is going to be about 13 hours.
-
wow, that a experince just to go to china. good luck dude.You can just hope that the chinese government hasn't put a filter for GS servers so that it doesn't prevent you from visiting HLP
-
Hope not. If they do then I will tell Karajorma whenever I see him again on ICQ.
-
Unless they've filtered that out too :D
-
good luck teaching hopeless Chinese Students
-
As long as we keep down on stuff like freedom, human rights, and stuff like that, it ought to be all good.
-
Don't come back a Commie okay ? :p

Or you could just go to Taiwan. It's China Lite.
-
Try not to get arrested by the secret police. We need modders in these dark times. :p

Have much fun, and don't drink the water.
...Oh, wait, wrong place. Just have fun and keep safe, then.
-
you can get HLP there (or at least you could a year or two ago) and you most definately can get ICQ to work there. I talked with a girl from (IIRC) Harbin a whole lot over ICQ about two years ago, and I showed her some of the things we'd been doing here.
-
Have a safe trip, and enjoy your time there.

Personally I wonder how I have fun and stay safe here in the US with all of the secret police and idiots...

Made it. Sorry I did not post sooner but my dormitory has no internet. They will move me to a new apartment in one or two weeks after it is finished being decorated. They told me I would have a fast internet connection, DVD player, and big screen TV all free (courtesy of the Chinese government). So far everything is good. I have already made a couple of friends. For some reason one of them is intent on finding me a girlfriend. Not sure why, but he is a nice guy.
And yes, people stare at me when I go outside, but that was expected. Nanjing has 6 million people in it and only a few thousand foreigners at most. Sometimes I pass other "wai guo ren" (foreigners) on the streets.

I'm inclined to wonder what would happen if you wore a shirt with the URL to HLP on it...

Lol, good question. Maybe we would get more Chinese people here. :)
