The Great Firewall of China

Difficult to keep up with the blog... First, parents-without-internet for all of July, now the ban on Blogspot, Facebook, YouTube etc in China. I can get a proxy server but our PC has just died, so it means I have to go into the office (which, being diplomatic, is firewall-free), early before class. But hard to concentrate when colleagues arrive and introduce themselves. Trying to keep a record of impressions off-line and will probably upload end of each week for a while.
