2009! Great year for China wasn't it?

Anyway I can't resist posting this from Chinasmack, 62 news photographs and their original captions (translated into English, so look away now education lovers.)

Or maybe you'd rather just see a building not quite falling down in Liuzhou.

Hello smart people!

I like pictures.

But for some reason lately I cannot see pictures that people post in their comments. Most distressingly, I cannot see bodawei's sign collection. I used to be able to see them just fine. Changye has also commented that he is unable to see posted pictures. All three of us are in China, so it seems like it would not be a blocking issue... but then I have heard that servers are not evenly blocked across all China. Could it be that Flickr is blocked in parts of China, but not others? I was able to access the Flickr website, so I do not think that is the problem. I cannot see pictures on wikipedia lately either, and timing suggests it is the same problem. I have tried other browsers to no avail.

Does anyone have any insight into this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

谢谢你们！
