Blogspot is still blocked here in China. I'm happy that the proxy I used is still working since Friday. I'm also glad for this new browser that seems to be really fast compared with explorer and firefox. Thanks to apple safari browser, it can access proxy sites well and the only problem with blogspot is that I couldn't post a picture. Honestly, I still don't see the point since I can see that China is trying to compete with the rest of the world and they are in great demand for English teachers who could do some "magic" here. Having free access to English sites is a such a great help for them to learn English and exchange information for free. Learning a language also includes learning the culture of the people who speak the language. How can you make this possible when so many information about them( English sites) are banned? Is it because they want to make a good image? All bloggers who are deprived of this online right are now being provoked. Reading from most of their blog entries, majority of them are not happy and only say more negative things about the country.
Youtube is a free site with great materials for learning a language, specially English. I even used it for showing some movie clips and other materials that would facilitate learning. I don't know when are they going to open their minds and just let the people live. It's a million $ question and it doesn't need an answer.
