videoconf with michael in beijing
my friend michael's in china, just having recently arrived in beijing en route to teaching english in crazy-desert western china (xinjiang).
i've been keeping odd hours lately, and by chance caught him online in a webcam-equipped beijing cybercafe, producing this neat screenshot of videoconferencing with michael in beijing!
p.s. the movie i'm watching in the picture is the secret history of credit cards on frontline.

Posted by: sophie at February 3, 2005 09:55 PMNice entry. By the way, I did manage to find the Lonely Planet book yesterday on Wanfujing. Turns out it was the same bookstore, but when they said they didn't have it, what they really meant was on this floor. I found it upstairs. Also, climed the Great Wall today...there was a total of 5 people there in the 3 hours I was there. Awesome...but freaking cold! -10 celsius, whatever that is. I'll post pics tomorrow.
