P.S.

In relation to this post - i tried playing around with my nokia and got so frustrated with it, I bought a new phone.

Say hello to the HTC Desire.

I have been wanting an iPhone for a while, and thought that I'd be able to buy one cheaply in China ... but this doesn't appear to be the case.  I could buy a really crappy fake one, or a real one without wifi that would cost me more than it would in Australia!  The HTC Desire in my opinion is better than the iPhone and is just as good, if not better than the newly released iPhone4.

And besides, with all of the bad press Foxconn have been receiving, I really didn't feel like buying an Apple product which probably came directly from the Shenzen factory.

I could easily save half of my wage here every month, if only I would stop spending!  I think I have nearly exhausted my wish list of things to buy ... but knowing me, I will think of more.  I should really be thinking EUROPE EUROPE EUROPE 2011!!!!

I have fans!

Seeing as it seems people actually read this, I should make an effort to update more regularly.  I often think of things that I should write about and then get lazy.  I will try to change that!!

The weekend of the 1st of May was a long weekend in China.  Of course, they don't refer to it as a long weekend, but as a 'holiday'.  Seeing as it was a holiday, it meant that most of the country was on the move!  It was also the opening of the Shanghai World Expo!!!  Once we found out about the long weekend, Matt and I had dreams of getting out of town for the weekend and heading to Hangzhou.  In typical Chinese fashion, we were left totally ill informed until the last minute as to whether weekend classes would be canceled and exactly what time we would have free to do our own thing.  This meant that we were unable to book anything until a couple of days prior to the weekend and as it was such a busy peak period, this spelt trouble!  It is so frustrating, but it's China, and I wonder if any other company would be different? We managed to get a room at a decent hostel (at holiday prices!) and get bus tickets (not without hassles!).

Photo syncing

Syncing photos between iPhoto and Flickr is being a pain, so instead of using that as an excuse to continually not upload posts, I will persevere and add photos later!
