That’s too bad all blogspot blogs have been blocked, that’s almost half of the Oracle bloggers. I will try nonetheless.

Now, I have to finish up packing and go get some sleep. We will be flying early tomorrow — Thanks again.

For example, go look for Tom Kyte’s blog – it’s blocked. Not because the Communist Party considers Oracle a threat to one party rule but because they have blocked all Blogspot blogs.

They are pretty inconsistant however – they left Typepad alone (perhaps someone important invested in them?)

I just moved from Shanghai to Shenzhen. I suggest that if anyone does try to take you to a dog hotpot you go along and sample it – it’s not bad.

Also, if you like spicy food, there’s an awesome Hunan restaurant on Jiangsu Lu and Yu Yuan Lu catty corner from Zhaofeng Dasha… Small place but people come from all over Shanghai for the pig feet…

I will just go about my usual surfing habit and see what happens.</p> <p>Thanks Tim.</p> Good advice, if they are blocking, then most probably they are tracking.

Yes, she does (Wu = Shanghainese). Of course, she speaks English too, otherwise, I would have to learn Wu :) , which is extremely hard, even though my native language is Arabic, which maybe is the second hardest language to learn.

It will be interesting to see if you can find blocks on internet access
If I do, I will report it here.

Enjoy your trip
Thanks, I will.

Beijing’s atmosphere will have to change for the Olympics. It will be a different city then.

Does your wife speak Wu? This was one of the surprises of Shanghai for me, the spoken tongue was quite different from Mandarin, lovely to listen to, but I had no clue…. ;-)

It will be interesting to see if you can find blocks on internet access.

Enjoy your trip! 8)
