Where Am I?

I have difficulties myself, sometimes, tracking where I am, so I can only imagine how friends fare on this one… I decided to keep this page more or less current, so that friends can track me — what little family I have knows where I am Outside the date ranges mentioned below, I am expected/supposed to be in HK.

The main phone number is the HK one, 6675.6489.

• In China, it’s 1500.2040.351 and it’s actually linked to the same SIM card as the HK one. A Good Thing™.
• 09.1741.8484 for Taiwan (no roaming)
• 010.4807.4875 in Korea — where only this one works, grumble.
• S’pore is 9392.9682, roaming enabled but not often on.
• The French phone is 06.3097.8574, and is only on when I’m there.
• No phone in Japan. Yippee!
