Internet is back (English)

I don`t know what they did, but it works again! Juhu!

Internet Problems (2, English)

It seems like the connection problems are due to my internet service provider. I don't know what it is, but there seems to be no way to get a hold of a service clerk at that company. 6 days in a row...really no fun!

The Dutch visitors returned today to Hong Kong and will continue their trip on the Mainland, before returning to Beijing. The last evening was the eclipse of a great week and numerous memorable experiences in Taiwan for them and us. Everything went smooth, we arrived at the airport on time, and could leave a great impression on the other travellers, by chanting some Dutch folksongs and chatting loudly about the last week.

As soon as I can acces the net from home again, I will upload some pictures.

Stay tuned...

Internet Problems Taiwan (English)

It seemed like the earthquake south of Taiwan mid of december 2006 had no influence on my personal internet experience, but the last few days prove me to be wrong. Accessing the net is not easy right now, and it is very slow. Even the university's internet connection seems to be back to ISDN ages. At home I have not been able to access the net for two days in a row and friends report the same problems. My teacher, however, told us that she has no problems to access the net from here home, outside of Taipei. So maybe this is a Taipei related issue.

Anyway, I hope that things will speed up soon, so that I can post easier about what is going on here.
