So the plan for day 2 was:
A pretty full day. It was rather tiring, but we managed to pull though!
TianAnMen Squire, the biggest square in the world. It is huuuuuuge! I can’t image what goes down when half of china is gathered there. There were lots of tourists nevertheless, so it gave a pretty good understanding of the size.
I have already written up a post about me walking around Beijing during the first day while waiting for my parents. So now, since I have normal internet again, I will continue the story.
Its been 3 days in to my China trip and im loving every moment!
Sorry for the lack of post, blame it on the Chinese government, who blocked youtube and stuff.
Anyway, what I have decided to do, is just enjoy my trip and once I get to Japan on the 30th, I will post 7 posts, about each of my days in China.
But for now I bid you farewell, and stay tuned!
After a good nights sleep and a solid breakfast (fried rice with bacon and fruit) i decided to wander around town cause my parents will obly arive at 3pm today.
After spending 14 hours in the plane, I’m in a cozy bed in a hotel in Beijing.
Only to find Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Google, Foursquare (on my phone for some reason, even though the normal website works fine), YouTube and other awesome sites to be completelly blocked… Well i knew about it, but dang yo 🙁
P.S. WordPress is blocked too, but for some reason i can still write blog posts through the iOS app *_*
As some of you might know, I am leaving for China and then Japan starting today 22nd of June till the 29th of July.
Since China has its great firewall setup I might not exist on Twitter and Facebook for a while, and may not even be able to post (we shall see).
But I will upload most of my trip photos and tell you guys about the awesome time I am having!
So keep in touch and if you ever need me: Twitter / Skype / iMessage / Facebook

This is an amazing series made by mondo media (same people who made Happy Tree Friends) and it is in all ways awesome!
It features the life of Red (the red stick figure) and Blue (the blue stick figure) and their friends: japanese raccoon, Lord Tourettes, Mr. Dingleberry, Pink, Stacy and Jason. They go on these all out crazy adventures and crazy killing sprees XD
Because of all this talk about Pokemon in the Anime@UTS club lately, I fell into nostalgia mode and decided to replay some of the classics.
In order to do that though, one either need a Game Boy / Color / Advanced / Nintendo DS. In my case I have a Game Boy Advanced, however i do not posses any of the Pokemon games…. sadface.jpg
So what does an IT guy do in this case, one thing! find an emulator. And I was successful. Now I can play any Game Boy games on my iTaiga (MacBook Air) or iKonata (Mac Mini). 1 ROM is usually 1-20MB and they provide infinite enjoyment!
A week ago, when we went to Kinokuniya, me and Alex went to the japanese section and I stumbled upon this manga and light novel called Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo. So I said: “hey Alex, wanna bet this will become and anime” and he was like: “everything becomes an anime these days”.
And now its here!
As TheAkiba pointed out, it is gonna come out in the Fall season this year. Cant wait!
