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.

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

Hope not. If they do then I will tell Karajorma whenever I see him again on ICQ.

As long as we keep down on stuff like freedom, human rights, and stuff like that, it ought to be all good.

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.
