Mrs. Li was barred from art college (after she tested in) because of her family's bad political background. They gave her spot to someone with a lower score and she had to work in a factory.

Blogspot is blocked in China 99.9% of the time, and the free version of anonymouse.org that lets me read your blog won't support blogspot comment links (they want me to pay). I just tried anyway, and it says only with their V.I.P. version. The problem isn’t your account.

And those are still really nice photos for a point and shot digicam I'm impressed. Okay...

Two of the rotating square photos at the top I stole off the internet, and occasionally a friend's photo makes it on here. I just took a picture of their old black and white photo - that's why it's a little fuzzy. Thanks for stopping in! It's good to hear from you. How long have you been in Japan?
