The State of Websites

Filed under: Chinese Multi Media — Shanghai @ 12:15 am

Today I will go to the China Intl. Travel Mart to help a friend with a presentation. It’s apparently one of the bigger ones to
promote oneself and do business.

Never been there so checked out their website how to get there. Luckily the location part is still under
construction, China International Travel Mart , and that last remark was meant in a cynical way.

Adsense blocked..

Filed under: default — Shanghai @ 8:02 am

For some hours I got the feeling adsense was blocked.

I had a friend check out the site in Thailand and there everything worked out fine. Now adsense is back again but somehow this worries me. Not because of the huge amounts of income I am missing, as there is no huge anyway.

Even more because this would imply that it might be that the great firewall tries to control advertizing as well. Next to that internet is as slow as a snail in Shanghai. Sad to see that the top biz city in China can’t guarantee a stable network.

In the Pudong Starbucks on the bank of the river you have a great view on the ships sailing by and amazingly it’s quiet and peaceful. For 12 Yuan you have a coffee of the day and if you have to go to the loo just tell the waitress. She will give you a small piece of paper, cut out of a magazine it seems. Without a blink the WC-guy will accept it. You can of course also bring your own scissors and magazine.

In addition, the time of the shower is also converted into course time. Please be careful since
