Yeah, I used to have that problem when I was talking to my sister in Australia. I don't think it was much of a problem when I was in China though. I think the connections have gotten better since then. *shrugs* I shall see.

Whee, that's great. If you give me your adress I can mail you something next week.
Cool, I'll reply to the screened post with it.

Do you want to have a pictured postcard of Leipzig or some other card?
I could easily send you a post card from Canada, but if you'd like something a little more exotic, I still have some left over from China.
