In an interesting twist, I am unable to connect to any of my email accounts or skype. I am in Bangkok to get my Chinese visa and will return to Ubon shortly for my final weeks in Thailand before moving on to Beijing. So, despite trying to create a new email account through yahoo, trying to access my skype and hotmail account, and taking efforts to access my Vermont school email, I cannot. I will try another computer tomorrow and maybe, just maybe it is a strange glinche.
