The Great Firewall of China

Well it has been a while since I written on my blog. This is due to a couple of reasons, stress, being busy, and slow internet. Where I am at in China does not have DSL but ADSL which is a little slower. It slows down more if there is a lot of traffic like after work every single day. Then there is the great firewall of China. China restricts their internet to only allow what they want people to see. Google, Facebook, etc are all banned and cant be found on the internet here along with a whole host of other stuff. To get around this people use VPNs which are somewhat illegal. The problem is they slow down your internet even more and are not always reliable. For the past month China has been having high level meetings, and any time this happen they crack down on VPN services, making it nearly impossible to get online. My place of employment had no internet for a couple days as well, and even now it is much slower than it use to be. However things seem to working find now, so I am back up. I have so much to write about though…..
