Woe is me! After spending more than an hour online tracking down the cord to my digital camera when I first arrived here, I was convinced that that would solve my problem of being unable to access pictures off my camera. The cord arrived today . . . and it was the wrong cord. In short, the seller lied about it being right for my camera. I went to Sony's website only to discover that they won't ship here. The cord on Amazon that I recognize by sight as being the correct one also only ships within the US. I checked to see if my new school laptop had a slot that would fit my memory card -- again, no luck. Finally, I realized that the only way I'll have any pictures in China is to break down and order yet another camera (making a grand total of three cameras in my possession, one of which doesn't work). Grrrrr! So, I broke down and ordered another camera (if I buy it here, it'll be entirely in Chinese and will cost more than what I spent online, including the cost of shipping).
To my "delight", I also discovered that I left the cord to my digital photo frame back in the USA, so there is no way to use it. This just isn't my day for electronics.
Yuck Duck: This entire situation with cameras.
Yay Duck: I got a lot done in my classroom today, including significant progress on the massive 13-foot-long bulletin board.
It just occurred to me; I had camera troubles in Korea, too (fell off my bike and damaged my digital camera, then had to buy another one)! Is this just my lot to bear when I live oversees? I have this sudden image of myself at a ripe old age, surrounded by cameras, each acquired in a different country that I lived in.

Yes, I read your blog. Because I'm kind of a creeper.
So, I'm quite sure you'll be able to find a cord here if you're camera is a pretty well known brand. I (and I'm sure the Chinese staff) can suggest a couple of places for you to take a look if you want.
