Beijing
by tdaxp ~ March 18th, 2006
Recently, Mark from ZenPundit linked to some travelogues by our mutual blogfriends at Coming Anarchy. From the Balkans, to Iran, Syria, and Turkey (twice), there’s no where that those Victorians haven’t gone. So out of envy of them or love of her (hint: love of her), this May I will be joining Lady of tdaxp in visiting her hometown of Beijing, China.
Staying in more urban environs than Younghusband in East Turkestan, I will spread knowledge of tdaxp-the-Man in a nation where tdaxp-the-blog is banned.

Effectively, you’ll be surfing / browsing / blogging through an IP in good ol’ South Dakota.
