What is internet access like?
Unfortunately, internet in China is often not as stable as in the States, so while it is sometimes very quick indeed, it is often very slow as well, and very occasionally it will even just go down for a while. Certain websites are blocked from inside of China, such as geocities sites, for example. Other sites are inconsistently or sporadically blocked. Regardless, blocked sites can generally be accessed through a proxy server, such as www.anonymouse.com. Free internet access is available for our teachers at ACES offices, and some teachers even have internet in their apartments.
