It's just like 4 Hour Workweek said. Turn off the email and phone. Get away from information overload.

good point, i am living in china. most information on TV and internet just for brainwashing, without any valuable information to help us. people would lost their soul after watching TV. so i stopped TV about 5 years ago. i never watch TV . and most people around me bought Iphone. but they really have no idea what it could bring them but watching TV and playing games by Iphone. they already been controled by it.

Weibo is problem for me...alot of my colleagues and someome dear to my heart is also on it...although it is time wasting.

These websites aren't real life. Although good for keeping in touch when you're miles away from home.

I have decided to quit weibo and focus on Chinese language homework and writing postcards

postcards are nice...

I miss getting real mail...the kind that is not related to bills, junk and flyers....

In fact, I order myself small items online once in awhile just to get parcels...and I'll tell you, it gets me freaking excited...like a little girl. XDD

My best friend does the same, it's quite funny.

Yet we shouldn't turn off Hey-AI.

Would say stay off the video games and porn.The rest of the internet is a-ok!

I do the same thing! I've also been searching for penpals to write actual letters to.

I have a best friend I met online in grade 7 that is a few provinces away...so basically well over 8 years ago, never met him yet, but we have sent each other gifts and he always writes a note entitled to his "sis" inside the cd case or whatever he sends. I find it nice since he never uses MSN anymore, perioid---we barely talk---but I still know he cares as my friend. (he randomly sent me a box of his burned anime dvds he didnt want anymore---I was in shock XD
I have met his Gf though, lol--- I happened to be heading to west Ed mall so I met up with her XD
(they have been in a long-distance relationship for well over 3 years by now--)

anyway, it is totally possible to have a good penpal friendship
