I’m talking to this Chinese university student about encyclopedias on my computer, and I mention my partial offline Wikipedia that I setup custom for myself. I also mention that the Chinese government blocks Wikipedia so no one here can easily see it. She disagrees and says the government doesn’t block anything. She says it is just an Internet problem, like a technical problem with the network. I say, that’s what the government wants you to think. I guess the Great Firewall of China is doing its job.
After class today I visited the Dongyue Temple, which is just a block or two away from my apartment. I’d say a pretty neat place. You can see it on Google Earth to the north of the apartment if you use the coordinates I gave.
