Transformed

Me, circa 2004

Welcome to my weebly website.  As I have learned more about my blogging capabilities here, I realize that I have much more than a blog, I have a website!  So, welcome to my homepage.  As many of you know, I had to get this new blog/website because my alexecox.blogspot.com is blocked in china, but for those first few blogs, refer to that domain and you'll get the full background story that led to my blogging.

Since this is my homepage, I thought should include a picture of myself.  Yes, that is I. Junior year of high school. I was cool then and it's carried through to this day.  Johnny Young is always undying in style and trend.

Harbin (in China) is the city that I currently reside in.  To the right you can see an image of the city from when it was equally populated by Russians and Chinese. This Russian influence continues to this day via food, architecture and the random shops with titles like, “Russian product and treasure store.” I have not yet gone in, but it is hard to resist with the claim to treasure.

I have also placed a google map image below to pinpoint a more specific location for “Northeastern China.”  I realize that Northeastern China covers a lot more ground than the Heilongjiang province (the province where I live). Also, ‘Heilong’ translates, ‘Black Dragon.’ (Maybe they meant the fictitious flying creature and not Ron Van Clief)
