Banned In China

I've just found out that Eat Noodles Love Noodles cannot be accessed in China. Now I know I dissed what passes as street food in Beijing and was pissed off at being pickpocketed in Shanghai but I'm not sure that merits being censored ! Anyway, I'd be really grateful if any technical boffins can explain to me why the powers that be are keeping me out of China.

  1. Interesting. Do you have a friend in China who let you know he/she couldn't access your site? (In other words: how did you find out?)

  2. My friend's skype Mandarin teacher (who is based in China) couldn't access the blog. I've looked into it and apparently blogspot/blogger blogs are blocked in China.

  3. Go buy EATLOVENOODLES.com and then they will access it. Blogspot is blocked in China. They don't have time to read every blog... so they block all blogspot stuff. Same as blogger I think. Great site though. We love noodles too!

  4. Nong hao Magnus ! 'Xia ya' for the kind words ! I'll be sure to pick up some more Shanghainese from your website before my next trip to Shanghai.
