This is a test.

Some of you might have heard of the "great firewall of China." It's a government filter on all Chinese ISPs that blocks access to websites the government doesn't like. My blogging engine is one of them, and therefore so is my blog. I can't access the site where I create new posts. I was warned about this before I left, so I think I have a workaround in place. I'm testing it now. If there's a picture on this post, you can expect more pictures. Comments you make on my post will still be forwarded to me by email, but I don't think I'll be able to respond to them. Just know they're being read, I guess.

My train to Shanghai leaves in a few hours. I'll be working on a better workaround so that my blog will be fully functional. Stay tuned.
