It is very nice to get paid. It truly truly is. After I got my pay, I headed over to get my blackberry set up with China mobile.
When I first got here to China, my TMobile cell phone worked but said it was operating on China mobile's network. I called T mobile customer care to get an unlock code. I then went to China Unicom to get a sim card, which ultimately didn't work, forcing me to go out and buy a cheap-o Nokia.
So I have been suffering along with my Nokia, which is an absolutely craptastic phone. Upon getting some cash from bossman, I went over to see if a sim card from China Mobile would get me my crackberry back. Why I didn't first go to China Mobile is something I am unsure of.
Anyway, I got a China Mobile card, but now my phone is locked because I have tried the MEP code too many times. You see, my phone is TMobile and hence is locked unless I enter a code, which I have tried to do now more then the alloted number of times.
So, I contacted my Chinese handler, the one who has a german accent. He is trying to locate a "blackberry expert" in Wuhan. I have imagined a shop like the place where the Moogwai are purchased in the movie gremlins. It will be some one eyed, wizened old man in a dank back alley amidst thousands of cell phone and cell phone parts.
So I am flush with cash, and still with a craptastic phone. The phone will have to get replaced one way or the other.
I plan on taking a trip to the Wudang Shan next week. The Wudang Shan is a mountain covered in ancient taoist temples and inhabited by taoist monks and nuns. It is very scenic and, with all the associated taoist clergy, probably going to be non stop antics and belly laughs.
