YES! Finally I can get on my blog again. China didn't unblock it, but I found a way to get through the Great firewall. Proxy server! A proxy server works as a middleman between the web browser and an end server. When you try to access a website that is blocked, the firewall basically says to your internet connection, “Sorry, but you cannot go there.” So instead, the“proxy,” who is allowed to go there, fetch the information for us whether it’s a blog, video, or whatsoever. So now, I can get on facebook, twitter, youtube and my blog without any troubles. One big disadvantages, many pop-ups appear. This makes it sometimes annoying, but fortunately we can put the system on and off. Hopefully the China government is not reading my blog and find out about these proxy servers. That's why, better not write down which proxy server I am using ;) Anyways, I don't think the government cares about the small percentage who is passing by these firewalls. They are more interested in censorship for its local citizen.

As I have mentioned last time, the weather has been changing a lot. But actually now it has not been changing that much. It is only hot hot and hot. Yesterday was 40 degrees Celsius!! Even in Shanghai, it has not been this hot before. That's why I will take my Friday afternoon off and head out to the swimming pool. :) There is a big swimming place with many slides just outside the city center, in Minhang district. So it should be great fun. I got invited to go, so of course I couldn't refuse.

Last but not least, an update on the building which felt down...now I know who did it ;)
