I surf at work, watch Youtube and stay in touch with friends on Facebook with Skydur.com. I can even select a country I want to appear from (USA, United Kingdom,…) So simple to use and yet powerful. It bypass China Firewall. It’s my best spent $16 bucks (for 3 months of service) – no more time wasting with free proxy solutions. Skydur rocks.

I hadn’t realized until just now that you’d been pondering over the lyrics to that particular song for 4 years now! I still find it amusing that we both agree it’s a good song even though we associate the word “cow” with completely different things.:P Perhaps the message is not lost upon the Chinese audience because they don’t randomly insult people by calling them cows?

Using internet is simple as hell. But I can tell y ou right now, it can be very hard, if you are the first time user.
So, first thing I suggest – open the Explorer, and type in the address you like.
You’ll get there really fast, it depends on your connection speed.
Good luck.

I’m just happy that you didn’t cut off all your fingers. You really need to find a real can opener.

Will there be pictures of badmitten as well?

You’ve been missed! I love your stories, although hopefully I hear from you often enough that by the time you’ve sorted out the blog proxy thing I already know about the corkscrew-tomatoes, etc.

I want to hear how getting back into your apartment was simple. I got marooned outside in my pajamas when moving out of my place in VA and had to flag down a car to get help.

I remember being at a restaurant in Taipei and my friends being unable to translate what a particular ingredient was so they had the chef bring the raw ingredient to the table. It left me none the wiser, though it was clearly vegetable not animal . . .

I’m glad I found your blog – I’ve added it to my RSS feed.
