Technology

What a wonderful world we live in. Here I am miles away from my family and friends and yet in easy regular contact. I had one friend say, "I feel like you are just around the corner, the only difference is I can't come and visit."

I have my Australian mobile phone which although has international roaming it doesn't cover China! I have since bought a Chinese mobile which I mainly use to text or if I have no other means I will use it to call home. It is still relatively cheap.

I have SKYPE and can speak to family and friends by my computer. I will soon have a video cam and you will be able to see me on your computer.

I also have an Australian phone number where you can reach me at the cost of a local call.

I of course have email were I am in regular contact.

I have this blog address where you can read my daily experiences. That is of course when I'm not too busy, (Uuummhhh) lazy, to update.

I also read the Courier mail online so I know what is happening at home.

So with all this technology I can keep up to date with what is happening at home and you can keep in contact with me. Quite amazing really.

If you want any further information about any of these facilities/services email me and I will give you the details.
