Back On Line!

Few weeks of the China Government playing games with the internet. All blogs, Twitter and many internet sites were shut down due to the 20 year anniversary of the TM Square uprising. Even CNN & BBC were blocked during certain news reports. Free press & free speech???? They only want the positive spin on China & world events. Also censoring some of the North Korea reports. But heavy reporting on Swine Flu, as you guys are trying to infect China with your diseases.

Anyway, Bec back from her spring trip to the USA. DFW to Beijing via Chicago & Japan - 27 hours start to finish. She arrived safely with her suitcase & box of goodies - most of the stuff made in China, making a return back to the homeland. Then it all caught up with her and she was in bed for a couple of days. Better now.

Unusual wind, rain and thunderstorms pattern over the last couple of weeks. Mild temperatures and the smog level is extremely low. Love it!

Preparing for our trip to Tibet in July. Looking forward to 9 days of touring the area. Going with another couple so it should be fun! Bec is going to doctor to get meds to keep her brain from swelling at the high altitudes!?!?! Will keep you posted on how that works out.mike
