I am in a small city in northwest China, only 175,000 people. The airport here is a one room building the size of a garage.

No bootlegged software, no funky USB stuff. But a hotel room with clean sheets and an internet connection.

I only have the 900P3 notebook with me, but it is folding away.

How is surfing the net over there? Is a lot of websites blocked by the government firewall?

I understand China blocked Google.

WuG you make a nice mascot.

Internet speed varies a lot, sometimes no service and sometimes real nice. So far no blocking, they gave up trying to block google.
I get CNN, WSJ and everything.
