I am wondering if any poddies can read 维吾尔语 Uighur? Is it consistent with the Chinese?

yeah,I could see it at the top of this post the whole time. Sorry mate,my bad...I've just realised I copied the address and had the full stop in the address when I pasted [which produced the not currently available message]...it's working now that I have removed the full stop from the address

I've set it for public viewing - if it didn't have this setting it would not appear on the ChinesePod site for me. It's a mystery. Maybe I should start posting using Photobucket.

I'm wondering whether you need to set a permission on flickr for public viewing then? I know you've done all this before successfully but it's easy to overlook these things sometimes..just a thought.
Got a link about stemming the flow?

@Zhen and Barbs
I just checked the link and it works okay for me - a case of Flickr working inside China, and not outside?
BTW. There is a story in today's Western press about China planning to step up its efforts to stem the flow of unwanted material over the Internet.

*sigh* Flickr just told me the photo is currently unavailable ...
Hope you get some feedback on this!

Good question, but no, I'm sorry, I don't. It does look that I was interested in the sign and the panorama equally, doesn't it? Naturally it looks much bigger on my laptop but ChinesePod requires a smaller image.
There is a larger image (768X1024) at http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4030/4580734945_aed211b24a_b.jpg.

May 05, 2010 at 02:21 PMHi Bodawei--not that I can read any Uighur, but do you have a shot of the writing there closer up?
