Wow, I haven't written in quite a while.  I don't recall exactly when, but China has blocked Xanga and I currently cannot access it from the mainland.  I'm writing from Hong Kong during the Golden Week holidays.  I've always said that I'm always happy to come down to Hong Kong after a long stint in Shanghai.  The family, the friends, the shopping and the food... HKG is great.

I bought a new phone already when I got here. 

Wifi, bluetooth, 3G...
