Entry #19 -- Freeze! NEW BLOG ADDRESS!

Well, the departure date has quickly crept up on us and I leave for China in less than a week. . .

As many of you know, anything Google related -- and many other webpages -- is touch and go in China, so I've decided to leave behind the site I've spent hours designing (sigh) and migrate to a platform I will be able to access positively.

Everything but my posts will be presented in Chinese characters. Don't be intimidated! Click around and have fun. . . Or I guess if you're feeling excessively wimpy, Google might be able to translate it for you. However, be sure not of translations must you be upon receiving them English words [Translation: Chinese to English translations don't always make perfect sense when using an automatic translator].

So, if you'd like to follow me and my journey go to the following site:


Once there, I will orientate you, tell you how to post/comment. Just a note: if you do wish to comment, please be mindful with your thoughts. . . not for my sake, but for the Chinese Government's sake. It would be horrible if they censored my blog -- then how would we be able to keep in touch! Something like that would probably never happen, but after reading another student's blog -- who posted a similar disclosure -- I figured it wouldn't hurt to at least mention. Stray away from opinionated religious and political commentaries. Again, I'm not even worried about y'all :) I just want to be respectful on their turf, if you catch my drift. . .

On that note, check out the new site. And if nothing else, at least stop by to see the super fluffy panda bear animation. Yah, I'm definitely going to try and bring back a baby panda.
