Yangshuo, Part 4 阳朔4 2009年4月30日 星期四
I've been home a week now, and its taken me this long to get an update online. Normally, I wouldn't take this long, and I would do it from China. But things have a way of coming up, a la Murphy's law.
My hotel room was broken into after a long and rewarding day of shooting and climbing. Some ninja wanna-be's spanned the gap from an abandoned hotel next to ours, ran across the roof to the room next to mine, jimmied open the window and ransacked our Aussie friend Duncan's room-seconds after he shut the door, apparently. Then, after stealing his laptop and cash and other goodies, they went to the next window over-mine. They only had time to get my B-camera, my iPod, and my laptop- it seems that they probably heard us pull up and they bailed, leaving my passport, Blackberry, credit cards and a pile of cash.Normally I have a backup at home, but in this case, it WAS my backup-my main computer died just before this trip.
我已经回到家一周了,但却要花这么长时间来更新网站信息。平常我不会等那么久的,而且在中国的时候就会做了。事情总是按照它应该发生的那样发生了,这就是不可违抗的墨菲定律。
有一天,在结束一整天卓有成效的长时间攀爬和摄录后,有人闯入了我旅馆的房间。很明显,盗贼从相邻的一个废弃旅馆跃过楼之间的间隙到我隔壁房间的房顶上,用铁撬撬开了窗子,洗劫了我们澳大利亚朋友Duncan的房间,就在他关门后不久。在偷了他的笔记本电脑、现金和其他财物后,接着他们又撬开了下个窗子进了我的房间。好像听到我们回来的声音,他们只有时间偷走我的小型摄像机、iPod和我的笔记本电脑,然后就匆匆逃走了。留下了我的护照、黑莓手机、信用卡和一叠现金没来得及偷走。一般我都在家里有一个资料备份。但这次我家里的备用主电脑在这次旅行前坏掉了。

So now I have a replacement, i'm nearly done restoring all my software, and I am editing the China footage. Regardless of the bummer of losing my info and electronics, I'm psyched to edit this film and release it to you, the climbers. Its a beautiful place, and the climbing community is just getting started over there.
Look for the film to be released shortly.
所以现在我换了台电脑编辑这次中国之行的视频资料,并且基本恢复了所有的软件。忘了丢掉的资料和电子产品这些不愉快的经历吧,我正专心编辑这部影片,并将尽快向攀岩者们发布。那是个美丽的地方,而且攀岩人群和团体正逐步壮大。影片将在近期发布,敬请期待!
