T.V. shows are hard to find here. I still can't believe I found both Seinfeld and Sex and the City. My health is better finally, and the weather is starting to get nice Dad…I am nowhere close to finishing all the DVDs!!! T.V. shows are hard to find here.

Are you able to get it there?? I heard the episode was phenomenal. Action packed, and left you hanging. Hope that by now you've fully recovered your health. Love, Dad AJ- I am sure you haven’t yet finished all the DVD’s, but I wanted you to know that they just aired the first episode of the new season of The Sopranos. Are you able to get it there?? I heard the episode was phenomenal. Action packed, and left you hanging. Hope that by now you’ve fully recovered your health.

The good thing is that Chinese people are REALLY honest for the most part, so if the DVD doesn't work or has the wrong subtitles, I can just take it back for a refund no questions asked. Also, since they are all copied, none of them have region codes. I have my US laptop her so the ones that do have a region code don't work. I also have a Chinese standalone DVD player which US ones don't work on....so I know if I have a region encoded disc. I plane to be in China until at least July Sara......Come on! You know I know this.....see above :) Rachel.....Aight....I will see if I can find the office John....gracias.....te envio algunas fotos Jerome.....yeah....schools will start sending me letters at the end of this month. WOW!!!! $595 to fix a camcorder. My new one only cost $300 and it rules! If your current one isn't HD, I couldn't see spending so much cash to get it fixed. Alan.....gotta love the lack of copyright laws here :) What are you talking with Chinese telecom equipment manufacturers about? Summer….picture is on the way……I am aware of all the DVD issues.

I wonder how they do it...oh yeah they RIP OFF THE COMPANY THAT OWNS THE CONTENT! ;) I have been spending time talking to some of the Chinese telecom equipment manufactures. ZTE and Huawei are two of the largest. I can't help but think about you as I talk to them. Hope you are feeling better and looking forward to reading more about your adventures in China. AJ

Good to be up and around again. Should be hearing from schools pretty soon! I was just advised that my camcorder, which has been in the repair shop for a couple of months is reqdy. $595.00 to fix. Should probably have told them to stop and bought a new HD cancorder. Sony has some nice ones. They have swiitched from CCD's to C MOSS. Continue to soak up all the culture you can. Shenqui is gorgeous. I am sure you will have a ton of pictures to share. Glad you are having fun. Good to be up and around again. Should be hearing from schools pretty soon!

Me gustaria ver fotos de tu novia (como pidio prima Summer).. Cuidate bien! Wow – estoy que casi me privo.
