Poor internet in China

Today I was informed to pay the gas bill of my house in Buffalo. But it turned out I cannot open the website. Then I tried to finish my asssignment since tommorrow is Chinese New Year Eve, I probably will spend the whole day with my parents. But I found out I cannot open any of the top educational blogs listed by Scott McLeod and list of blog finalists. What can I say.....Many websites are blocked. Fortunately, some of the blogs listed by Will Richardson can be opened and I added four of them on my blog. I miss the internet service back to U.S......
