The Shrine

<div style='font: bold 10pt ; text-align: left; '>Just got back to Jinan, that is. I'm still in China. I was at a software exhibition this week with the company I work for in Jinan (CVIC SE). It was a cool experience, I've never been to something like it before since the city I live in in Canada is too small to get anything like that. Microsoft was there, of course, just proving evil is EVERYWHERE :D Anyways, the chicks at the MS booth were a highlight, but the ladies at my booth were nothing to scoff at either. Quite friendly, and they keep calling me! I want to go back to Beijing >< Anyways, for those of you who care I have a website up with some pics of my trip so far at:

Take a look, I'll post a message when I get it updated again.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Awesome. My bud was there a year ago and said China rules. Gotta head over there sometime...</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>Any news about the Three Gorges Dam? Many independent scientists in and out of China believe this is a catastrophe waiting to happen.</div>

<div style='font: bold 10pt ; text-align: left; '>I haven't heard anything about it, but now that you bring it up it's something I'll have to look into.</div>

<div style='font: bold 10pt ; text-align: left; '>Heh well it's not exactly happy land. It's big, overpopulated, way dirtier than Canada, and the pollution is bad. Areas outside of cities are really nice tho, and not all cities are dirty/polluted. It'll be nice to be back home at Xmas.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>No place is like living here, that's a fact. But it's supposed to be a great place to visit</div>

<div style='font: bold 10pt ; text-align: left; '>Yessir I'll agree to that. Website updated on November 11th by the way</div>
