Xinjiang

新疆自治区乌鲁木齐 Xinjiang Urumqi, 2 May 2010

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

Hi Bodawei--not that I can read any Uighur, but do you have a shot of the writing there closer up?

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.

*sigh* Flickr just told me the photo is currently unavailable ...

Hope you get some feedback on this!

@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.

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?

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.

Fairfax - currently in the top 5 technology articles on Sydney Morning Herald.

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
