Cheap or Free International Calls From Your Mobile Phone!
No computers, downloads, or phone cards necessary. Just dial and talk internationally and pay local rates! How does it work? You give us the phone number of a friend in another country, and we give you a local number for them. Save this number on your mobile so you can call your friend whenever you want at the local rate. And the best thing is this: Between 7 Feb and 6 March 2008 Rebtel is giving away 1 million minutes to all Rebtel members!

… so happy Lantern Festival! According to this blog post, the origin of the festival signifying the last day of the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year Celebration) way have its origin in Chinese Folk Religion, Taoism/Daoism, or Buddhism, even though like Christmas in the West, it has become a fairly secular holiday now.

Flight Paths
I thought this was a great idea. FlyerStats.com is now online. It lets you enter a flight path, like KDEN-KORD-ZBAA-ZGCS (Denver International to Chicago O’Hare International to BeiJing Capitol to ChangSha Datuopo and back), and see the approximate path you’ll fly. It also calculates total and per-flight mileage and cost per mile too. But then it allows you to use Great Circle Mapper to see your flight, in addition to Google Maps, which is less impressive in this situation. Looking at the world this way makes you realize why so many international flights do not fly directly over the oceans, which would look more direct in standard maps that we are used to seeing like Google Maps.

HaoJie and WuYa in China
I have the tickets, so it is guaranteed to happen! This time we will fly from DIA to O'HARE then O'HARE to PEKING and finally on to HUANGHUA but unfortunately O'HARE to PEKING and back is on UNITED rather than on AIR CHINA, but at least PEKING to HUANGHUA and back are on AIR CHINA, my favorite airline. But luckily I do have frequent flyer programs with both UNITED MILEAGE PLUS and AIR CHINA COMPANION. Unfortunately, I am not traveling First Class this flight. Those seats sure do look comfy and very sleepable!
The Waking, The Dreaming, God, and Me
Except this time, the return to the dreaming corresponded with a return in the Awaking (Or is it the Waking [World]?). While the one that left the Dreaming has left the Awaking for me again.
Why has God given me this gift, if indeed it is even a gift from Him?
