Take on Chinese twitter

You know that you are in China when the air is so thick with smog that you can't see 100 feet in front of you.  You know you are in China when you sit at a lunch and spend all your mental capacity to come up with excuses why you don't want to eat just about everything on the table and you know when you are in China when you log onto twitter and your browser gives you a blank screen.   Obviously you know you are not in kansas anymore but in 2012 it is weird to not be able to log onto NYdailynews.com, twitter, spotify, facebook, TakeOnRighetti.blogspot.com or youporn but this is what a closed society is.    maybe I am being naive  I never the impression they are reading my email but when you realize that the only form of western news you can get is from China Daily, it's time to wise up

Only question remains is how does the average Chinese chick know what Kim Kardashian is wearing at any given time without access to twitter?   Probably not a bad thing as it may take 10 of them to fill up one of her outfits
