Saturday, May 23rd, 2009My laptop has been giving me trouble these days and while the hardware is fine, Windows is giving the bluescreen of death every second day. It get’s pretty annoying. I think I will buy a new Netbook soon, so instead of a new laptop I thought I would just get a new phone with Wfi. [...]
Finding a place to settle
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009I started traveling at the start of 2007, partly I just wanted to travel and partly looking for a place to settle down more permanently. I finally decided that I was going to try and settle in Indonesia and have begun learning the language. I spent a couple of months in the Indonesia’s third largest [...]
Renting is cheap in Indonesia
Friday, February 20th, 2009I am planning to stop traveling for a little while. I have been going since September this year, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. I am planning to stay in Medan in Sumatra for a while and spend some time working on my sites. There aren’t really any apartments here, so you have the option [...]
My new home, maybe
Monday, February 16th, 2009I just came back from spending about a month in the Philippines. I had some good friends from the Philippines while I was living in China last year, until the government kicked most of them out right before the Beijing Olympics. I had a lot of expectations of the country and was even thinking of [...]
So-long Beijing
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008It has been nearly a month since I posted my last entry to this blog, which is probably the longest break I have had from writing here. I suppose I felt like I needed to take a break from blogging after the Olympics. I am actually writing this from Australia, where I arrived back in [...]
Success in small steps
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008I have been battling away now on my Beijing blog for nearly a year now and it is just over a month until the the games start in August. The Wall Street Journal linked to the blog today and Problogger published an article I wrote on Facebook. Traffic from Google still isn’t great, but I [...]
My China visa woes
Sunday, June 15th, 2008I have been in China for a few months now and since I last posted about getting a visa to stay here for the Olympics, I still haven’t gotten it yet. Worst still the agent has my passport and my previous visa has long expired. The Chinese government is getting very strict now as to [...]
Fun and games in China
Sunday, April 27th, 2008I was surprised last year when I came to China how easy it had become to rent an apartment and live in the country (aside from the crowds and the pollution). With the run up to the Olympics, China has become more like it was ten years ago – controlling the movement of people in [...]
Internet clampdown in China
Wednesday, March 19th, 2008Sorry, for the lack of updates on this blog. I have been spending what little time I have online working on my Beijing Olympic site. Traveling in China is fun, but also very tiring. Everything seems to take a day or two longer than you expect. Finding wifi places in smaller towns is also not [...]

Friday, March 7th, 2008I don’t know who comes up with these designs, but some of them are pretty funny. I apologize if anyone finds it offensive. You can click on the image to see in more detail.
