I bin in Harbin

This is the first entry of my blog, in which I aim to record my experiences in Harbin, China. I will be in China from the 26th of August to late December. During this time I will be speaking lots and lots of Chinese. Some of you may have noticed this is a .de blog. Yes, that means it's hosted in Germany. This is a (futile?) effort to avoid Chinese censors. I also have a German e-mail address at acoflan@gmx.de. Time will tell if this is worth it. Not much to write about now, so I'll start packing.
