I am currently in China, and have discovered the “Great Firewall of China”.

Yup, no access to Facebook and Twitter in China. I feel “offline”, altho I have Internet access in my hotel room, and brought along “H”, my Asus eeePC 1000H, so I am online, just not on Facebook or Twitter.

I’m at the Bifengxia Panda Base for my annual volunteer trip. This trip coincides with American-born giant panda Tai Shan coming out of his 30-day quarantine and moving into his new digs today. It’s a big event with 20 volunteers helping him to move. I’m one of the 20.

This should be a fun day.

I just remembered my blog entries are sent to my Facebook account, so this should go up there, too. If any of my FB friends read this, please post a comment on my blog to let me know. Then, I’ll update my blog more often while I’m in China.

Thanks.
