Meet Cherry

Hello, everyone.

My name is Hu Ling. Hu is my surname and my English name is Cherry. So you can call me Cherry. I live in China, in Shanghai.

I am a university student and now I am a sophomore. My major is computer science. I want to speak English well, so I am working hard on it. Then I can communicate with other people well enough to know their culture and how it differs from that of China.

Nice to become friends with all you. y

Yours, friendly, Cherry

Hi Cherry,

I'm from Shanghai too. Glad to meet you. I'm studying in LA now. It's been almost one year since I came here. I really miss my family and the days in Shanghai. Spring Festival is coming, the city must be full of cheer.

Wish you a happy new year!

Jiabei

And Vance replies with some information on connecting to our websites from China

Welcome Cherry,

I was working over the weekend on your website. As you are in China, you might not be able to reach Homestead and Geocities sites. These sites are known to be blocked in China, so you might need to use a proxy. There is a proxy here:

• https://proxy.autistici.org/
• and information and a proxy here http://www.shanghaiguide.com/articles/display_article.php?ArticleID=78
• and an article about Safeweb's proxy here: http://pcworld.shopping.yahoo.com/yahoo/article/0,aid,46303,00.asp

I've received some of your Yahoo messages. In one you asked what is the difference when you become a member of webheads, and one difference is that I make you a web page when I receive your introduction.

To meet us any Sunday come to http://www.tappedin.org at noon GMT.

To see what time that is where you are: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html? day=2&month=2&year=2003&hour=12&min=0&sec=0&p1=0

In Shanghai that's 8 pm.

Hope to see you then.

Happy Chinese New Year,

Vance
