I must book my ticket soon. I am going to spend a couple of months traveling before arriving in Beijing. Unfortunately, I don't have that apartment, but I am fairly confident I will be able to get something similar when I get back there. I am still in Australia. I must book my ticket soon.

Two days ago while waiting for my cousin at the parking lot, my nephew was ecstatic to find a hot spot and he was able to call me here in CA using Yahoo Messenger I believe. That goes the same way in Makati and other places where there are a lot of businesses. Actually Roxas Blvd. has the Cultural Center that you might want to check out--sometimes they have scheduled activities and exhibits. There's the new Mall of Asia and many more...don't forget Fort Santiago in Intramuros. These are just around your hostel (noy to mention the casinos). Always proceed with caution to say the least--have fun! Your hostel is so close to Roxas Blvd. that you wouldn’t want to miss more WiFis almost anywhere there…even in the parking lots.

Look forward to reading about your adventures too! Take it easy and hope you've had some good rest.

It's really inspiring and motivating to know that there are people out there who started at the same level as me, just as clueless and are making double or triple what I am now. It's great for them and the little push I need to get off my arse! Mike the original plan was six weeks but now it's looking like it'll be a month. I put my passport in today for a Bangladesh visa so my flight out there will be Feb 11th unless I chicken out. I'm aiming to be in Beijing early April. When do you think you'll be back there? Do you still have your apartment from before? Ya Matt I know, I feel the same way when I read about others have success.
