connected again in hanoi

finally a chance to fix this blog.

china was blocking this site due to its no holds barred political commentary, hence no activity when my trip began. i then moved on to the remotest parts of laos. since i was staying in places where the locals would sometimes mistake me for a bad spirit (i'm not making this up), and where electricity is a newfangled thing fancy people use, you can bet there weren't a lot of opportunities to connect.

my blog was moved to

http://www.ballofdirt.com/journeys/5262.html

but now that i'm in vietnam, and ballofdirt doesn't allow comments and seems to be down a lot (like now), i'm probably gonna move back here.
