With the "Great Firewall of China" blocking our blog as if it was some sort of threat to the nation we were unable to post anything until we left the country, so we will have to do a massive summary of what we got up to in China now that we have reached Vietnam. (Vietnam also has internet censorship but it seems less restrictive.) Well it wouldn't be our blog unless it was just a little bit late in arriving!
Interestingly terms such as "Freedom", "Democracy", "Human Rights" and "Dictatorship" are all blocked by the Chinese government, as is all information on events like the Tiananmen Square Massacre, various politicians and dissidents and anything relating to Tibetan independence. We were also unable to access Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, news and blog websites and occasionally even Google...
Happy reading (we hope you've got some time on your hands!)
Love Pete & Rach x
