Absence
Sorry about the long delay between the last post and this one. It appears as though my site has been blocked in China. The domain resolves to an old DNS record before I moved to Dreamhost. It seems like an odd way to block a site, though, so it may just be a large and long lasting hiccup in some DNS servers over here. I now am forced to access my site only through my private proxies in the United States.
I went out to climb some mountains last weekend, but we were never able to actually reach one. This country sure likes their walls… We happened upon two mountains that were privately owned and completely surrounded by a 10 or 11 foot high wall and a moat. Awesome, way to own a mountain. Another was owned by a university and we were denied admittance. Perhaps more planning would have resulted in more success. I got some decent pictures (though not of mountains) from the trip including an old Beijing house (I don’t think this would be considered a Hutong), the red army, and smiling children.
There are a bunch of new photos from the Summer Palace on Flickr (first, last) to hold you over until I have time for a proper update.
