blogging - Meals, talks and a poor internet connection

This is our bloggers-dinner on Sunday with journalist and blogger Dan Gillmor and Andrew Lih from Hong Kong University in Shanghai, at Vale, Yananxilu 1088, a recommendable place. Sorry, I had not time to blog much about it yet, since apart from a busy schedule, poor connectivity has hit all of us during the past week. A whole group of people organized parts of the visit for me a co-organizer Isaac Mao. While we had a fast tour through the city, visited the journalism school at Fudan and joined a meeting of the Shanghai Foreign Correspondents Club, the internet seemed to fail at most places.

Unconfirmed rumors (thank you, Duncan) suggest that nortern divisions of China Telecom block partly access from the south, including Shanghai to have more capacity for themselves. Now, what would be very nast, if true.

The visit when excellent, as some of the reports show. Dan Gillmor could post a few entries, as could Isaac Mao. I will keep you updated as more might come.
