This happy face picture probably means nothing to you. But to me it is the light of my life. For the last 4 months - I have been blocked by the wall. Not the famous wall that kept out enemies for thousands of years - but the computer wall that prevents people from sending out big pictures and videos.
My tmobile iphone has been a way to see American news and send pictures - but even tmobil has threatened to cut me off because I used too much bandwidth.
Yesterday - Lulu contacted our VPN company. They said with the stuff down south - it has been harder to connect. They said to download the new program. She did it. I had brought an apple express router and hooked it up to the wifi. So with several changes we tried it - and our apartment wifi works well. We have fast speed and no censorship. It also does not disconnect. So as long as that happy face above stays green - we are happy. A VPN routes your internet through a different country to fool people trying to intercept you. We have success with routing our stuff through Japan.
This is like the movie Groundhog Day. It goes fine all day - then the next morning - we wake up with the same problem. This morning it was different - we woke up to "I Got You Babe" - and the green smile was still smiling.
Our life in China has been a never ending adventure.
