I love princeton…

For it's VPN network. Funny how the only times I feel really glad that I go to Princeton are all related to Firestone (the other is when I look up a random book from a source and firestone has it!). (for those who don't know, VPN is a virtual private network and makes it seem like im using the internet from the US =D )

Without the VPN, I wouldn't be able to use Pandora, gmail (apparently it's only occasionally), this blog, gchat(it seems like google really has left China), twitter (not that I had an account), foursquare (apparently it just got blocked this month apparently because a bunch of ppl used twitter to organize a mass tiananmen square check in on june 4th (for the ignorant like me before I took HIS 325 ><)… facebook, youtube, pictures of tank man, etc etc. (im actually kind of afraid to put that link up b/c what if the govt some how could see thru this

Im really confused about how I was able to be online in the first place and have ivy tell me about the VPN because she told me thru gchat. Guess I got lucky =D muwahahahah
