Well in the never ending challenge of China I've found that this blog is now blocked in China! For various reasons over the past year China has blocked YouTube, Facebook and blogs among other things. As with everything there are ways around it but it will make updating this more cumbersome than the last time.
Onto other news. I spent Christmas and New Years in Hong Kong and Thailand on a previously planned vacation with a buddy from the states. It was decided before I took the new job but the new job meant that essentially my flight to/from the states was paid for! So that made vacation all the better.
I've spent a fair amount of time in HK but had never been to Thailand before. It was absolutely crazy! Bangkok was full of bustling activity, tons of people and pollution but some wonderful tourist sites like the Palace and temples. Then off to Phuket to the beaches.
Here's some photos if you want to check them out...(FYI Picasa web album is also blocked!)
