And we're back!
I finally made it back to Korla this afternoon. I'm fairly worn out, not from all the traveling but more from the approximately 170 hours I've spent on trains over the past three weeks. That's an average of more than 8 hours per day! Anyway, it wasn't that bad... and I had a great time in Beijing, Luoyang, Harbin, and Dandong with my oldest friend, David, who flew in from the US. I'll fill you in on my adventures a little later, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm back in action and will be posting again... soon.
By the way, does this earthquake-related Internet slowdown suck or what? I only got online once during my travels (see previous entry), but now that I'm back home it's like I'm surfing with one of those old acoustic coupler modems like Matthew Broderick used in War Games. Sigh. Looks like my upgrade to 网通 was fairly useless in the end...
Also, some of you may have noticed some problems with the photo gallery. I had to upgrade my software after some Brazilian hackers tried to jack me, so things are looking a bit amateurish at the moment. Don't worry, I'll spruce things up as soon as possible.

Alas they do not sell Baiju at the Super 88. Off to Chinatown to complete my quest.

Glad to hear you made it back to Korla safe and sound.
Did you take the river cruise in Dandong? It is pretty interesting to compare just how different North Korea and China are.
