Disappearing from the Forbidden Network

I'll be going to Beijing for the Chuseok vacation. China blocks Google, and therefore Blogger and Gmail. I'm not sure about Yahoo, so you may be able to get a hold of me there. Facebook is also blocked. So, I'll pretty much be out of touch from Saturday at noon until Saturday the 25th (my birthday!) at noon--this is all Korean time, so add 8 hours and make them Friday for Los Angeles.

I'll be staying at Leo's Hostel, it was recommended by Lonely Planet and had decent reviews on Hostelworld.com. I would have preferred one of the other hostels with higher ratings, but the more affordable ones were all booked up. Let's hope this one is as good as the awesome reviews and not as damp as the negative reviews say it is.

I'll probably post again before I leave, but wanted to give a heads up.

    Sounds like an adventure regardless. When I backpacked through Europe at age 18 I stayed at a lot of youth hostels, some were very nice and others not so. But I could put up with the not so nice places particularly when I would meet at least or two interesting people.

    I can't wait to hear your experience in China, your sense of the vibe, when you return to Korea!

    There will be much blogging. I think the experience will depend on me and my travel buddy. No matter where you stay, you still have to put work into it to make it a worth while trip.
