No Google? No Facebook?


            During the first few days in Kunming I had Internet access but no access to my Google mail, Facebook, and blog. It felt terrible! I also had a VPN (Virtual Private Network) but that wasn’t working. A VPN basically allows me to connect to a server in the U.S. and be able to access websites I normally have access to. The reason was that most parts of China blocked Facebook and recently, blocked Google. I am not sure why there is a lot of censorship but I fixed this issue by buying another VPN so everything is all good now.
