Pan-Asian Gallivanting

So…here I am in Li Jiang, Yunnan, China and I am very frusterated. China is no longer considered a developing nation…at least in my mind. They have all of the ammenities as we do in the US, except for clean toilettes…but that’s another story. The only thing that China does not have is a fast internet connection. I think this is partly due to the fact that every single thing that is accessed or sent via the internet is checked by their government. Thus making connections speeds much slower due to all the work that their routers must do to filter certain web pages and content. Hmmmm….maybe this won’t even get posted because someone here won’t let it?

Anyways…I was hoping for a fast internet connection so that I could add more photos to my smugmug account. Since a blog is almost nothing without photos, this is crucial for this site! But, it seems that I won’t be able to add as much content to this site as I desire. Maybe I’ll be able to do this in Vietnam…but I won’t get my hopes up.

I’m trying to figure out this whole issue with smugmug and I’ve almost entirely given up on it. I’m currently thinking that I will buy more SDHC cards for my camera and then use smugmug solely as a platform to store my favorite images and then use it to display them on this blog. But we’ll see. I can’t buy memory cards here in China because most of the ones that I’ve looked out were either refurbished or knock-offs. I think I’ll wait until I get to a more reputable country as far as selling original electronics.

Until then…I hope I don’t run out of space on my SDHC cards!
