Arriving in Qingdao, I plugged in my computer, fired up the internets and received a helpful pop-up message from my hotel:Kindly be advised that some websites, for example Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, are not accessible in this region due to regulatory reasons.
I'd totally forgotten that I was behind the Great Firewall of China! I logged onto my beloved, innocent www.chiieew.blogspot.com and that, too was blocked by the Chinese internet authorities!
Fortunately, once I established a secure VPN, I was able to blog, tweet and post to facebook freely again. YouTube, however is still verboten, but that's the doings of my unevenly Communist company, not the Chinese government.
