Safe in Beijing

I originally posted this message with a blank body. Somehow, the web browser on my iPhone would not allow me to click into the body of the post, so I was forced to leave it blank. Why was I using my iPhone, you ask? Well, because it was the only device on which I had a function VPN (or Virtual Private Network -- downloadable software), which allows the user to circumvent the nettlesome roadblocks plaguing the Chinese internet. Now that we've finally gotten proper internet at our apartment (a penthouse no less...), I've been able to connect to blogger.com (banned here for whatever reason) via VPN and finish the post. So then, I'll leave it here... I kind of like this. A post about its own genesis.
