As you can tell from the title of this post, I have finally arrived in Beijing, settled down and figured out a way to access my blog despite it being blocked by the Chinese government. Of course, the methods via which this has been accomplished with not be discussed here. Instead, a phone call would be very much appreciated... :)
My Beijing cell phone number: 13552690691
Beijing area code (Should not have to use this, but just in case): 10
China's country code: 86
Time difference works out quite wonderfully here. I am in the same time zone as everyone in Hong Kong and 12 hours ahead of everyone on EST time. I know, I've made things easy for you.
