Still no internet at home, but I have had some other successes. One, I bought this awesome Hello Kitty keyboard vacuum that's powered through a USB port. Sweet!
I also bought a new electronic dictionary today, very exciting. For about $50 I got a touch-screen dealy where I can write in a character as well as type in, like my old one. I still wish my old one hadn't broken, but this is a good replacement, and wasn't TOO expensive compared to the fancy color-screen-will-practically-do-your-English-homework-for-you variety. And buying it gave me an excuse to go the big electronics super-center down the road from where I live (the one at 中关村 for those of you who know). Wheee, electronic gadgets! Anything you could ever want and more. In triplicate. On the downside, also lots of people trying to sell you things. 'HELLO! HELLO! SONY! I-BEE-EM!'
This morning I also got more pictures of Beijing University to share. This is the lake that's just inside the gate that I walk through. There are pretty pretty coy in it.
And often cute children looking in it.
However, Beijing is still dirty. These are my (before coming to Beijing) brand-new shoes after one day of wearing them. They were mostly in the office too! Really its after two walks across campus.

i think i can foresee a dilemma with your keyboard vacuum. you'll want to use it constantly, but it's just not as fun to use when the keyboard is still clean. you will fight a continuous, losing battle. you just won't be able to beat that first cleaning. all those little dust bunnies and food scraps that have accumulated. all getting sucked out. so satisfying. not that there would be food scraps. because i never ate and used your computer. nope nope nope.
