Random China Stuff

BEIJING: Using the internet in China is quite odd. You never know exactly what the PRC government is going to block. Wikipedia, for instance, will take you to a Chinese search engine. I can update this blog but I can't look at it. I wasn't able to check football scores on BBC.co.uk the other day though I could read regular stories.

Oh and it's illegal to sell Lonely Planet China here. Because they acknowledge the independence of Taiwan. Kind of annoying when you don't have a guidebook and haven't done much planning.

And the restaurant we ate at on New Years - we were lame (and sick) and didn't even leave the hotel - was serving at least two dishes that claimed to include Wikipedia including Fried Wikipedia.
