Update

The good news: I'm in China and everything is fantastic! The bad news is that I can confirm what I learned just after I created this blog: Blogger.com and Blogspot.com are one of many sites blocked in China. I am working on an alternate blog site and hope to post that link in the next day. If this works, you should be able to read this post and I hope see the photo I took, but I will not be able to know if it works - so please comment below and I think I'll be able to see those replies. --Steve
