Hey
I've been loving your blogs. Have you been on powerflv.com . Some awesome documentaries on it, that i'm sure you'd love.
I'm going to be in China for the olympics and for and month or two after them so would be good to meet up somewhere. I only have 6 weeks left in Korea and then off to NYC to spend some time with my gf.
It'll be good to compare stories.
