Update

Ni hao! 你好！

So I finally caved in and purchased a private/personal VPN so that I could access the Internet a little more ... easily ... I kept hoping that once the PRC's 60th had passed things would start to lighten up. Guess not. I had been posting in livejournal for awhile in the mean time and I will see about getting some of those entries posted here as well. Seeing how this is my "China" blog.

What has been going on in the mean time? Basically, I left China. I spent about 6 weeks in the fabulousness that is Southern California. Then I came back to China. Same city, Shanghai. Same job, teaching English. Still working on getting that thesis finished as well. Left China (again) for the National holiday (8 days off from work!) to visit South Korea. Still working on that thesis.
