Finally another update- mostly because now I’m grounded and off my bike for a while after taking a nasty fall two days ago during a huge rain storm here in Beijing. I decided that it would be a clever move to practice my skid-stopping in the rain since the roads would be a bit easier [...]

Just writing a quick update to share the misfortune that I’ve been having lately. Somehow my personal belongings have just been breaking. Argh- //Update – June 29 2010: Well it seems like someone else is having the same problem with the MacBook Pro Unibody build quality. I found this ad on eBay as I was [...]

I‘m very fortunate to have fellow biking friends here in Beijing- it sure beats biking around solo! Though, it does make it a bit harder when I’m thinking about weaving in between traffic because I have to think about whether my buddy will be able to make the same route behind me. Sticking to the [...]

It was my birthday yesterday- w00t, the big Twenty Four. I don’t really feel old, and I guess I shouldn’t. Twenty four is still young (at least that’s what I keep telling myself). I was celebrating with a group of friends on the East side of Beijing, and they got me an awesome (much needed) [...]

My friend asked me to put some images together that I’d taken from the past year in Beijing, and after sending them out I decided that I’d throw them up here on my blog too. I don’t know why, but I decided to make edit these as black-and-white images. Without further ado: -Duncan document.getElementById(“post-1011-blankimage”).onload();

I was a bit gung-ho on Monday and decided that I would bike to the US Embassy to pick up my US Visa. It’s about a 15.5km (9.6mi) ride, so it isn’t that much farther than the distance that I biked on Saturday from the Natooke fixed gear shop. But by the time I picked [...]

I made my first ride in Beijing on Saturday May 29th from the Natooke fixed-gear shop in 雍和宫 back home to 五道口, which is about 12km (7.5mi). It’s not going to wow any avid bike riders, but I’ve never biked this distance before. The longest distance I’ve biked is from the South campus of the [...]

It’s not the most reassuring message to receive when you’re trying to contact your hospital. A big nasty 404 =) And just for those who don’t know what a 404 is (I wasn’t too sure either, heh). Here’s a grab from trusty ole’ Wikipedia to tell us more about the HTTP 404: The 404 or [...]

This post is pretty much part-two of the previous post about the air pollution in Beijing; I’d actually taken more pictures while I was walking through the sand-storm, but forgot to download them off my phone; whoops! I was speaking with my Chinese teacher at 1on1 Mandarin about the recent sandstorm, and she was telling [...]
