Excited and Disappointed - 100M free web space

Just now I was checking Google Answer, occasionally, I found a 100M free web space in one question. I tried to sign up it immediately, finally I 've got a 100M web space with ftp account and 1G data traffic per month limitation. It provides more useful features. Like subdomain name custermization, php , MySQL DB and web email with pop3 and smtp supports. For me, I just need the web space with http reference for the files so that I can link in this blog.

However after I tested FTP and other function, I found the most important and basic feature doesn't work. I cannot access my test web page from browser. :( My internet explorer always says "Opening page...." in the status bar. I hope the reason of it is that their sever needs some time to add new domains...

Let's see what's happend tomorrow..

3rd times to Heidelberg castle And the perfect Chinese speaker

Today, Wang Zhenxu came to Heidelberg. We went to Heidelberg Castle together. Although I have been living here for 5.5 month, this is my 3rd times to go there and sight seeing.

I got a really big supprise during this time. When we visited the Apothic Museum, I found a guy who works there can speak really good Chinese. At that time, I wanted to buy a little box as souvenir. He spoke to my friend "说中文吧,还快一点"( let's speak in Chinese, it would be faster). And when I gave him the money, he also can speak "x块x毛x" . So typical Chinese....

Suddenly I felt so shame and embarrassed. I have been in Germany for 2 years, but I still cannot speak German...:(
