Just curious who's all following my blog...can you reply "hello" or "go oilers go" or "I think (Lions or Bombers) will win the grey cup" if you follow it even once in a while. Thanks to everyone who has already put messages on. I do read the the messages and I appreciate receiving them.

I'm also using this to inform everyone that I have safely arrived in China. Previously, I had done that on Facebook as well but in China, you can't get on facebook. The government doesn't allow it. I'm in Shanghai. I've already been offered cheap watches, shoes, iPods, iPads, girls, sex... One lady even said sex and watches in the same breath. "You want watches, sex, movies?". They're like wal-mart out here, each person on the street's got everything you could ever need. I've also already had someone try the old tea scam bit on me. Locals who speak pretty good English will walk up to you and pretend like they're not selling anything, hang out for a bit, then invite you to tea with their "friends". The catch is that the tea can run up to about 50 dollars. That's pretty steep (get the pun?) considering I got some unbelievably delicious dumplings and a plate of beef and vegetable noodles for three dollars.

Anyways, that's it from me for now. Gotta do some research for tomorrow and off to bed.
