Internet (Yin1te4wang3)

Still working on getting consistent internet access. I’m supposed to have access in my dorm room, but it’s not working just yet.  I might have to change rooms.  We’ll see.  Anyway, there are plenty of opportunities to get online (shang4 wang3) but I’d prefer to use my own computer and be in my own room.  For now I’m using the school computer lab.  It costs 2 RMB (renmenbi) an hour.   That’s about $0.25.  Not bad, but the equipment isn’t great for chatting by MSN.  Jeremy and I had an unsuccessful conversation just now — echoes and clicks.  Unbearable really.

Thanks for all the comments on my first post.  So nice to hear from you all.  I think I’ve fixed it so that it’s not moderated — that way you’ll see your comment immediately.  The default setting required me to review and approve each comment.  No need.

I wrote a nice blog entry last night from my dorm room.  I couldn’t post because of the internet problem, so I’ll post it later on.

Stay tuned!
