Ryan in China Again part 4

Ryan can’t get his Skype to work. Mine works fine. I called Disneyland and talked to Minnie Mouse. That’s not as strange as it sounds. I know Minnie personally. She’s more Chinese than you might expect, and she’s definitely not sleeping with Mickey, let me tell you.

Lily & Kevin Skyped their families in Canada. It’s all free anywhere in the world as long as you’re calling another Skype user. I think that’s pretty convenient. The technology is remarkable, when you think about it. But the more you think about it, the more you realize that Skype will be obsolete in no time. Sometime else will come along sooner or later.

Ryan can’t Skype me at all and mine always says that he’s offline, even when we’re on the phone and he says he’s online. I don’t know if it’s a government censorship issue that can’t be resolved or an internet issue that will be resolved eventually or just some temporary issue that might resolve itself. It would be nice if we could see each other. What’s the use of all this science fiction technology if it doesn’t work? At least we still have the phone. Sometimes old school works best.

No hate, please. There's enough of that in the world already.
