Writing from Hue, Vietnam
We've been unable to view the blog since we arrived in Saigon. Initially we assumed blogspot was upgrading or repairing their servers. But we've since learned Vietnam blocks everything from blogspot.com. We can post because the editing site is elsewhere -- at blogger.com.
So Vietnam subscribes to the Chinese model of free markets without free minds. Mixed feelings about this -- glad to see the bustling freneticism of Ho Chi Minh City (more to come on this) but I'm supressing outrage at the curtailment of free speech.
