I sent an email to Witopia tech support and got a reply from them. The great firewall of China has been blocking some of their DNS servers so that none of the connections can resolve. The short term workaround is to modify the config to point to a specific ip. Witopia is working on a more permanent solution.
I suspect the problems other VPNs have reported have the same root cause.
I tried the Keats on-line test a few days ago. It has errors in it that even I could spot. Did not give me a feeling of confidence! On the other hand, I wonder if anybody has bothered to report the errors to them so they can fix it.
On the plus side:
My wife had some surgery in January. The hospital asked her to bring four bags of salt which would be used to help put pressure on the vein in the leg, then they used a different technique and we still have the four bags of salt. Anybody need some at an excessive price?
There is no way that salt is going to protect anybody from radiation. But who cares? It's a long way from Japan to Kunming and the wind is blowing in the other direction.
Just in case I had a strong dose of peanut butter!
Tiger,
to put things in perspective I need to give you another set of costs.
I spent my own 8 days at Yan'an hospital last October with a requirement for abdominal surgery to replace a "patch" on an incision hernia (which required removing the patch placed in Toronto and putting in a new one). I was 7 hours in surgery and recovery so it was not a small procedure.
Total cost for lab,CT scan, hospital room, medication and surgery was just over 17,000 Yuan. I guess this shows the price can depend on what is happening.
No results found.
Had my first ever visit to Slice of Heaven last night for a group party. Barbara recognized me as a newcomer and immediately came to welcome me and introduce herself.
While speaking with her at the counter, a server walked past with a pizza for one table. The aroma immediately caught my attention. It was awesome.
Our group shared 4 different pizzas. All were amazing. I think the sauce really makes the difference since it was very flavourful. I also put back to cups of cappuccino. I guess they must have fixed problems noted in other reviews because I found it to be quite good.
If I lived closer I would be a regular here.
Kunming orders English added to outdoor signs
发布者This "strict new regulatory regime" appears to not be working. There are many new shops in our area, including a new Pizza Hut, with Chinese only signs. I guess it's another of those new rules that were created but failed on the implementation.
China considered Myanmar drone strike during manhunt
发布者That statement about "drop TNT" may have been taken out of context (or lost something in the translation. The picture of the drone clearly shows missiles are attached.
City may eliminate cigarette sales near schools
发布者Tigertiger, you must be younger than me. When I smoked as a boy there were no restrictions. We just made out purchases out of sight of parents. Times have changed.
City may eliminate cigarette sales near schools
发布者A day after the new law went into effect we were in a restaurant where ash trays were on the table and people were smoking. We mentioned the new law to the employees. They had not heard about it!
Additionally, the law provides for a minuscule fine to the smoker of only 10 RMB. If they want to stop smoking in restaurants their needs to be a very large penalty to the owners of the establishment. Same for taxi drivers, who are usually the people found smoking in the taxis.
Some amount of enforcement might help!
China, Bangladesh to build overland trade route?
发布者I'm puzzled. There were several comments on this article when it was first posted, now there are none. Where did they go?
