The Great Firewall

I am in Shanghai! I found out today that in China, wordpress.com blogs are blocked :-p , so I will be unable to update my main blog: chriskwan.wordpress.com while I am here. Blogger is also blocked, but apparently blogspot is not, so here I am! I should really pay for some webhosting and run a wordpress blog off of that, but now I get to have one of those trendy < (name + in/at) / (cultural catch phrase) > + .  . blogs dedicated completely to my study abroad experience in Shanghai. I'll import everything back into wordpress later maybe. 

I need to go to sleep now so I can get up early for the busy day tomorrow. I will write posts about my first 3 days here soon, but for now enjoy this Photosynth of my pictures from the Bund aka Waitan area in Shanghai (must be viewed in Internet Explorer, but IE8 RC1 is actually pretty good): http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=45f48f1f-d8ed-4469-87c1-40932f3cc8e1
