Stupid phone!

So my phone issues cropped up major this time.  Last semester I bought a phone here.  It worked well, I was happy.  Yay!  Well....then I had one major problem.  For some reason it wouldn't let me type Hanzi (Chinese characters) in my text messages.  Which....is something I really wanted to do.  My Chinese phone was better than the American phone because it could disply Chinese characters, but for some reason I couldn't type them.  So...this time I decided to use my new Samsung Exhibit II 4G phone, and use the Chinese SIM card in it.  


First I had to unlock the American phone.  That was the easy part. 


Then I decided to get an app called google pinyin on my phone.  I looked up ways to download them onto the computer and send em to my phone through USB.  But when I tried to download the app, I got the error message that there wasn't a device attached to the google account.  After several hours and attempts at getting the app onto my phone, my friend Rocky finally fixed it.  He used his phone to create a Wifi hot spot, which I used on my phone to get online and get the app.  So today I learned that Wifi with cell phones has nothing to do with the SIM card.  My phone didn't have a SIM in it when we did this.  Well to thank you for reading this I'll add some photos we took at the Olympic buildings and at the art district 798.
