Are Bloggs Off Limit in China?

I have not been able to access my blog site ever since I arrived in Shanghai.

I seem to be able to post one, but not visit a site on blogger.com at all...

Certain sites are very hard to get to as well--can websites be censored or is it just a coincidence?

On the other hand, only 7 years ago, I remember that we did not have much access to regular television here--this place has come a long way.

Since I've been a major slacker, I'm going to post a couple of pics from last couple of weeks.

Oh great, this has officially become a picture blog now!

For those of you who know WC, he got married to a beautiful bride, Jeannine.

I've always loved attending weddings.

There's always something about it in the air--a great combination of love, hope, and happiness. On a great wedding, like this one, there is also something extra as well; the pride, gratefulness...and just the overall "good" feeling that they're going to be okay.

Here are some pics from Rachid's factory:

It's been great getting to tour the factory.

First, we've all discovered that Rachid actually does have a job, and second, it's been so great to finally witness their baby in a tangible form. I have been beaming with pride--I just can't help it! Just to think that they started all this with nothing only 5 years ago!

Now here are some random pictures of people having too much fun!
