Tony is doing well.  You must see how he is doing.

I am taking interesting photos from my 21st floor apartment.

So!  Come On!  Where are you going to go?  Those three sites up there.

I have too many blogs so I will slowly retire this one.  If you are still interested in what I do visit these two sites:

We are back from Shanghai. 

How did we do? 

I will tell you when I am not so tired.

We go to Shanghai this afternoon.  The wife bought train tickets yesterday.  She just reserved a hotel room this morning (not far from People's Square she tells me).  I think I have all the paperwork I could possibly need for our trip to the Canadian Consulate.  I found my Driver's License which I will need as i.d. and lucky me it is still valid (though the address is wrong).

It will be Tony's first trip to the Shang.  Hopefully, he will be so overwhelmed by it that he will fall asleep.

It had to happen but you can't get www.andiskaulinsinchina.blogspot.com in Wuxi.  I had become accustomed to that.  But not having Youtube is very painful.  It had always been part of my routine to log onto it and check my view stats.  Last time, I had nearly 74,000 views.  I have put up some videos on www.break.com but it is not the same experience.  I don't trust break's stats.  And the site looks so low class.

The King of Wuxi has expressed an interest in getting a www.tumblr.com blog like I have:  www.andiskaulins.tumblr.com.

No funeral band playing to wake me up.  We operate in the apartment with the background sound of a nearby constrution site.

Wuxi, Wednesday  900 AM.

Very good thing and very bad things can happen in the same day.  This morning, I had a class with a very good student who then proceeded to compliment me profusely.  In the evening, I had a company class and I blew my stack at them.  I told these people to stop speaking in Chinese and I told them and I told them and I told them....  Finally, I lost my temper.  I wish I could have planned it but it just happened.  I was shaking with fury and then felt light-headed.  But it worked: they stopped talking in Chinese.

I am an easy-going guy so if I had lost my temper it was because they had gone too far.  They had crossed the line.

The wife bought train tickets to Shanghai.  We will take a Wednesday afternoon train in soft seats.  We will return to Wuxi Thursday evening after having done our business at the Canadian Consulate.  I pray everything will go well.  But governments being what they are, the work of Satan will be done unintentionally.

It is official.  Fred and Ivy are expecting a child on January 4.  Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs WuxiLife.

The wife brought Tony to school Tuesday afternoon.  He was a big hit.  Smiling because he was taking a poo but yet looking cute.

I watched an episode of the Beverly HillBillies on TVU.  Good for some cheap laughs!  Badada Boom!!

The Red Sox are in the World Series.  Go Boston!

Right now, in China, there are four AKIC blogs:  This one and

Why?  Because I am in China, it is a wise policy to have at least two in case, one is blocked as was the case with my blogsspot blog.  But the last week it has been available.  If I had my choice, my one and only blog would be my blogspot blog but unfortunately it is blocked most of the time in China.  The spaces live blog was my first blog and gets the majority of my hits.  It is linked to a popular Wuxi Expat site (www.wuxilife.com) which accounts for its popularity.  So much as I would like to ditch the MSN blog because it works wonkily, I am stuck with it because it steers all my traffic to my other sites.  I have the tumblr blog because it is available in China and I can supply it with the RSS feed for my blogspot site.  (Interestingly, I can post entries to blogspot even though I can't see them on the site.)  I like the look of tumblr and it is by far the best site for showing off my photos.  So, I maintain tumblr as a backup to my blogspot site.

Now why do I have this myspace blog?  It gets about 25 views a day.  It is a good place to write nonsense.  But still is this the blog I would ditch first.

I have tried to find a way to use each blog for a specific purpose.  I thought to make my blogspot blog my blog for political rants.  But then these are rss-fed to tumblr.  I thought to use AKIC spaces live for happy Wuxi Expat talk and photo displays but I see that tumblr is the best blog for displaying photos.  I thought to use this blog as the place for making banal observations about my day-to-day life at work.  But sometimes I feel I have to put more content in the msn live spaces blog because it would be read there and I need the content.
