Inernet

I wanted to share my experience with the internet here and I hope it does not get my blog shutdown it shouldn't but who knows. Something that I have found interesting since I have been here are the restrictions on the internet sites. For example I cannot go on any .gov sites which make sense. On the other hand I cannot check my online banking from here either. The most interesting thing about internet sensors is this website. I am able to write on this blog but I cannot read it. They have blocked me from reading my own blog but I guess they just have to stop everyone from reading any blog. I hope by writing this they do not shut my blog down but it is a risk I am willing to take. There is another thing about sensoring that I have found interesting since I have been here. I am currently taking a Tibetan Culture and Society class and the first day we had asked about Tibets independence in class. They are an autonomous region within China. So we asked about it and the teacher never really answered us she just changed the subject. Then the other day our program director reminded us that Tibet is still a part of China and that we should kind of be careful about what we ask because she had found out about it. That was a strange experience to me and it is one that i am going to have to get used. I hope by writing this it does not shutdow my blog but i guess we will see.
