Do's and Don'ts in China: Internet edition

Things that work here:

• Gmail (to my great surprise)
• Bing search (although it admits it filters out prohibited results).

• The MLB At Bat app, giving Ryan the unique opportunity to listen to the O's during his breakfast. (On Saturday morning, which was Friday night in Baltimore, Ryan got to hear a 9th-inning comeback victory for the Orioles as he brushed his teeth). 
• The Washington Post
• USA Today
• The Wall Street Journal
  

Things that don't work here:

• Facebook
• Twitter
• YouTube
• New York Times, although Kate said it sometimes works depending on whether they are writing critical articles. My guess is that their reporting on the cyber-espionage is to blame.

• Google search (It worked in Xi'an, but doesn't in Beijing. Kate says this is likely because the government has it blocked in the capital).
• Wikipedia (selective sites are not available).
