I’m leaving for China Friday. China, craaaaazy!
It’s so weird, I don’t really feel like I’m going. It is going to be so different that I don’t really know what to expect and I really can’t anticipate the act of being there, let alone really realize that I’m going. It’s weird; my sister is experiencing the same thing. Email me your mailing address before Thursday and I will send you a post card. My email is alex at this domain (ie alexlo dot. net).

Sweet app of the day: MoreGoogle – this thing is totally kickass.

Flying 7000 miles in coach (each way!) is gonna be totally kickass too...


Addendum: Technology abroad
With my handy dandy GSM phone I can buy a pay-as-you-go SIM card in China and just put it in my phone, instant wireless service in China. Neat.

I am of course brining my digital camera and 256 MB flash card which should hold about 300 pictures, but I am wondering if that will be enough. Over a 15 day trip I would have to average 20 pictures a day, which I think might be a bit low. One option, since I’m brining my iPod, would be to get the Belkin media reader for the iPod. At around 100$ it’s not exactly a cheap option, I could just get a 512 MB compact flash card for 60$...
