Long Time, No Update

Long time, No Update.
So I have been pretty busy the last few jobs I was on, but now I am back where I started...Liaoyang, China.
Liaoyang, China - Sunset June 2009
The good news is the customer and contractor move verry slow here, so I will have some opportunity to travel around and see some things. The bad news is the customer and contractor move verry slow here and I might not be home for Christmas. Anyway, on with the show

I think we might go to Dandong this weekend. Wooo North Korean border towns. I think Wikipedia captures the essence pretty well:

The two cities are connected by the Sino-Korea Friendship Bridge (中朝友谊桥, also called the China-Korea Friendship Bridge). Another major landmark is Hushan Great Wall (虎山长城), which marks the eastern end of the start of the Ming Dynasty's extension to the Great Wall. Other interesting tourist spots include: a museum dedicated to the "War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea" (also known as the Korean War) and Jinjiang mountain (锦江山) that is now the city's biggest park, but used to be a Chinese army lookout.

Sooo...pretty much it will be like going back to South Carolina where they have memorials to the War of Northern Aggression. Hopefully I will be able to get a good update together (with pictures!) sometime early next week.

One last thing, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and lots of other sites are blocked in China. If I didn't respond to whatever message, request or otherwise sent to me, it is probably because that site is blocked and not because I am ignoring you.
