Confusion, censorship...China!

Joe and I have had our google blogs blocked in China - we can't even view what's already there! I was actually quite put out by this petty (and futile) act of censorship, but both Joe and I refuse to be silenced indefinitely. Consquently, we've both started up new blogs on a site that is deemed acceptable to the authorities here.

In the last few weeks I have done a number of things that I would have liked to blog, including attending a Chinese Wedding and visiting the ancient (once the capital) city of China, Nanjing. I did write a couple of blog entires, including one about the wedding, in Word documents. Therefore, after my Chinese lesson, which starts in a few mins, i'll just cut and paste and also upload some photos... S x

PS. My profile photograph is supposed to be me looking pensive with chopsticks, as I consider what to blog next - y'see?! Below is a photograph of me and Tao sitting in a restaurant that serves delicious, spicy fish in a big metal bowl. You can see our bowl in the photo that's hanging behing us. Indeed, the first time we went to this place, they took photos of us for advertising purposes - 'look, foreigners eat here!'. They gave us our first meal for free, so we promised to return and pay the next time. When we did go back, we found that they had blown up two of the photographs and hung them on the walls of the tiny little place. I had to have a photo of that - only in Wuhu would this happen!
