Thanks. I enjoyed it, but it did have significant challdnges as well. One thing i did find frutrating was the lack of access to website apps and functions that we use every day, such a google, instagram and WhatsApp, The hotel wifi blocked most social media, so the only access was data roaming via China Mobile, and that wasn't always reliable.

The guide on the food tour went as far as to say that from next Febrary net access will be even more difficult with vpn's banned and access to a lot of sites only available if you can prove they are required for work purposes. Don't know how accurate and true that is, maybe somebody can confirm.
