Back from behind the bamboo curtain

I have been cyber-silent for quite some time despite my promises to blog consistently during my travels. Well, its not my doing. I blogged once at the start in China and then it went all wrong. After that blog my internet access gradually got worse and worse. From the start we couldn't access Facebook, Utube or Twitter within China.

 I could access many blog to update it once and then no more. After that went Google Maps and Google Earth followed by Picasa, no remote access to my work computer and finally in the end I couldn't even access my emails.

 This experience was consistent amongst the Nuffield group, a gradual decline of internet access. We discussed this as a group regularly as we thought perhaps there may be some paranoia, but the experience was the same for all.

 I'm sure there is a logical explanation for it........

 Here are a few of the sights we saw along the way.
