The Great Firewall of China

Xin chao!  We're back! 


If you will direct your attention to our map, you'll notice that we are no longer in Japan.  Magome, Japan was Day 3 of our travels...Day 57 will end in 37 minutes.  Whoops-a-daisy.


Vietnam, where we currently reside, is on the other side (although not far) of The Great Firewall of China.  Officially known as the Golden Shield Project, censorship is alive and well up there; successfully blocking us from this blog, your blogs, Picasa, Facebook...you get the idea.  The People's Republic of China (PRC) government restricts the free flow of information in and out of the country, especially social and political commentary. 


Yeah, yeah, there are ways to get around the firewall, but it was a nice excuse to take a break from the stress of blogging.  Ha ha ha!  All four posts!


We've been busy and it's been awesome!  This is what we've been up too...

Welcome back! That looks like a mighty long wall you're sitting on.
