VPN

If you've ever been to China then you know they don't have Facebook. They also don't have Youtube or Gmail which probably means they don't have Blogger either. When I first went there last summer I had no idea these websites were blocked and was devastated. So this year I'm definitely getting a VPN so I can still use Facebook and blog about my experiences. I found an article that lists their best picks for VPNs for China. The average price is $20, which I expected. There are free ones but they aren't supposed to be as good.

Addition: I realized I never explained what a VPN is. Basically it's like a webpage that allows you to view other webpages within it. At least that's how it looks on a computer. That's how I get past the firewall. Ok! The End!
