I’m coming at cha from Tokyo, Japan. Currently: in an airport lounge, eating Japanese noodles, drinking roasted green tea, & listening to elevator music, BUT HEY I HAVE FUCKING WIFI SO LIFE IS GOOD. For me, life without wifi is like life without sun. When I went to China I knew the wifi sitch would be kind of annoying BUT I didn’t know I’d be locked out of American sites. It was so weird. We were accessing normal American sites & then BAM!! One day they just didn’t work.I actually COULDN’T work. It was a total first for me. I’m used to returning about 400 emails a day, engaging on social media, blogging, & researching so it was an odd feeling to just disconnect. I know I said I wasn’t going to work too much in Asia, but I lied. I did work throughout the Hong Kong/Thailand part. But maybe ending our trip with literally no Internet was good for me?
