Oh, fun! More! More!

Oh! A coworker's son is doing a poster presentation at the conference. Last name Tollison, out of UT Austin. He's never met me, I have no further information, but hey, it's an overlap.

Hey I'll take a look for him.

He might not make it. He got bumped from the first flight from Chicago because of headwinds. They had to put more fuel in the plan and had to take people off to balance the weight. The next day, the plane got 2.5 hours out, announced they were having oxygen problems that should have been fixed last week, and turned around and went back. His presentation was supposed to be 8 a.m. Thursday morning. He may skip China and go straight to his presentation in Australia.

Meanwhile, his luggage is having an exciting time SOMEWHERE in China.

My god! What devil spawn airline did he book on? Let me never ever fly them! And what are they doing - trying to fly a prop job across the Pacific?

Hmmm. LJ was blocked 4 years ago for about 1 year and has never been blocked again. I've been posting and reading no problem for all this time.

Oh... Mongolian Huoguo. Oh..

I couldn't get LJ from my hotel in Beijing. Nor FB nor Twitter. I was able to get FB in the Hong Kong airport tho...

Are you in Beijing? I thought you were in Guangzhou... I'll eat some more hua guo for you!

Oh yes, hotel sysadmins have their own understanding of what is appropriate for a 'decent tenant'. But generally speaking, LJ is unbanned all over China.

If I was in BJ I wouldn't be drooling for a good huoguo :) You're right I'm down south in GZ. So please do!

I wonder if, like so much in China, it depends where you are (re blocked and unblocked internet sites). A friend of mine lived in Beijing for several years and LJ has been blocked for her since about 2007.

Btw, great pics Susan! I want to go back to China again. :)

Thanks moll_na_gig! I hope you and Beckett and Patrick are doing well. ;-)

moll_na_gig_67 June 22 2010, 20:04:59 UTC

We are doing all right. Beckett is doing well. Beckett doesn’t like the heat. We are experiencing some high temperatures here lately.

moll_na_gig_67 June 26 2010, 07:00:45 UTC

I hope you and Elmo and Clarence are doing well also. It sounds like your trip has been an interesting one.
