Melissa is here visiting me from HK. Yay! We’ll be sure and do a YouTube video tomorrow (I’m writing this so we will remember). Today we went to the 798 District and looked at modern Chinese art. Then we went to YaXiu Market and looked at another form of modern Chinese art, knockoff clothing and bags.
In other news, I dropped my iPhone face first onto the tiled bathroom floor and now the screen shows only white. I think it’s probably a loose wire inside. I took it to the Apple store here in Beijing but they said they couldn’t help because my phone was purchased in America. I’m a little confused as to why that would be the case. I think I’m going to go back tomorrow and talk to them again. Otherwise I’ll just take the phone apart myself, and void the warranty.

I guess places build their phones differently. My friend from Australia couldn’t get his phone fixed over here in America.

I’m commenting on your blog because I know that you like blog comments > fb comments. So here are two comments from me. Enjoy.

How is that friend of your’s from Australia? Are you going to visit? or, did you already?

The legitimate (white market) iPhones in China are manufactured slightly differently — it’s the “law”:
