Saturday, February 28. 2009Temple of Heaven
This weekend Laura and I went and visited my host mother (I stayed with her when I studied Chinese). While we were there, I took Laura to visit the Temple of Heaven.
I uploaded the photos from the trip and posted them on my photo gallery
Bad English
China Unicom is a very large Chinese company (the 3rd largest mobile carrier in the world). However, check out the horrible English that they have on their website!
Those who are shrewd-brained, never do time consuming and laborious matters, be longing and good at communications and praise highly humanization science and technology;
Short message realizes using of tongue not hands! 3-minute recording time leaves enough space to you and all speeches can be sent to the others ear in original flavor. Voice technology completely releases the inconvenient keystroke, more time and energy saved, fashionable and fresh and particular. Voice short message is worth using!

Be Careful What You Buy
Laura and I were in the supermarket and saw an entire pigs head chilling in the meat section. In China it is quite common to see pig’s snout or ears, but this is the first time I saw an entire head, haha

Friday, February 27. 2009New Cell Phone!
My camera has been broken for about 4-5 months now and I’ve been missing a lot of pictures. I’ve been thinking about buying another camera for a long time, but I decided on buying a camera phone instead. Laura has a good camera and I can use those to take high-quality photos. However, a camera phone is really nice as you always have a camera with you.
One of the nicest things about the phone is the Chinese/English dictionary. Since the system is stylus-based, I can look up characters that I see on the street by writing them into the dictionary. It helps a lot when I’m texting in Chinese, too 
The phone usually runs for about $350 USD, but I was able to buy it in China for a little over $200 USD
This should also mean that there should be more updates to the photo album and blog!
Oh, and the cellphone is Linux based (yay!)
