Alex Byrne mentioned National Library of China
Technology provides new and expanding ways in which to communicate but the desire to do so is an unbroken thread of human history. That was what impressed Byrne when he visited China's national library. There he was taken into its vaults to view its greatest treasures. Before him was a series of inscribed animal bones almost 5000 years old - among the world's earliest written communication.

Farewell to San Juan
This morning, I will leave San Juan, Puerto Rico.
My trip will take 25 hours, including 17 hours of flight.
When I am back to China, I cannot access Blogspot, Twitter, Picasaweb, Flicker, etc., very often.
See you again somewhere else in the world.
