The World of WeChat (微信) -- Continued...

Weekend has been very quiet -- living in social isolation sometimes can be a wonderful thing!!!

I survived the entire weekend without WeChat.  My friend and I went to the city to visit another friend, then Rudi and I went out to dinner with my brother's family.  We actually called my bother to settle on a place to eat -- everything went back to low-tech communication channels... It felt great.

To give you a clue of my reflections on life with or without WeChat, I bought the book Walden by Henry David Thoreau.  This is considered by many to be the masterpiece of reflective simple living.

Looking forward to reading the book!

In the meantime, the first thing I did this morning was to go to IT to get my old phone back.  Came home tonight and found out that my WeChat is still in my hands -- everything I wrote, everything I have saved, everything I meant to delete, and... everything to be read and responded.... they are ALL BACK -- how frightening!  Wow, for the first time in 2 years, I have the opportunity to choose my relationship with WeChat -- what would I choose to do???

Stay tuned, and trust that I will do the right thing!!
