Wielding the Black Marker
March 18th, 2008 by Chris Hansen
So, I’m working with our engineering partners in Shenzhen, China for the last 10 days or so. I’ve gotten tired of going out with the group so tonight I rebelled and walked to Wal-Mart for snacks and then walked to Pizza Hut to pick up a pizza that tastes okay, but Not Quite Right.
C’est La Vie.
In case you were wondering, I am aware of the stuff going on in Tibet. CNN shows it and when CNN crosses the line and starts to show something that the Chinese authorities think isn’t appropriate, the television station goes black for a bit. Sometimes it is for just a few seconds; earlier this evening it was for about 15 minutes. I usually pull up a web browser at that point and join millions of Chinese computer users in circumventing the Great Chinese Firewall with VPNs and open proxies to watch CNN online.
I’m such a naughty boy.
I haven’t taken as many pictures this trip, except for Sunday’s sight seeing excursion. I’m ready to go home but I’ve got a couple more days to go yet before heading home.
Other than that, I’m still alive and all that jazz.
Call me before downloading your pics….. I have a hint for you - H
