This is how we roll


Holy crap!

It's 3 am - and maybe that's why this is working.

In the history of this blog - there has never been a 10 day holiday. Never even a two day. But 10 was unheard of. But China is its own beast.

In January - there was an earthquake off the shores of Taiwan.

Every since then - the internet here is really wanky.

I had no idea - but apparently the way we are all connected globally to the internet is by 4 inch wide cables that stretch under the ocean and connect the continents.

For 10 days - it takes me at least 3-5 minutes to pull up a blog with no pictures. 10 minutes or more to open my own. And it would never accept a post.

For some strange reason today it does....

Probably because its 3 am.

But imagine a five star hotel - like the one I'm staying in - telling all its business customers that the internet sucks and they have to live with it. Heck - imagine telling an entire country!

So this is like a bottle in the ocean - with a note in it - going out by way apology and a desparate cry for help. I hope it gets through.

BTW -

See that picture? That's how things get done in China. Safety? Who cares? Just get the trucks to where they're going. It'll be fine.

That's why Chinese will rule the world. Got a problem with that?

If this works - more later.

Its Monday here... i head back to SF tomorrow....

Rock it, baby. Come back to the U.S., where things work and we do stuff safely. Who cares if we'll all be Chinese in 30 years?
