VPN & SSH Tunneling for accessing blocked sites – Facebook, Twitter in China

I just got back from Shanghai and if you have noticed, I was updating my twitter, FB, FB page while I was in China. If you don’t already know, China has banned Facebook so it is technically not possible to access it withing China. I found out later that Twitter was blocked as well. Luckily Instagram wasn’t so I was still able to access it on my iPhone. And my Instagram is linked to my personal Facebook so I could still update pictures VIA INSTAGRAM but unfortunately my twitter and FB Page wasn’t linked!

Long story short, I can update Instagram and my personal FB via Instagram but not my twitter and FA page as I would need to activate the Twitter and FB Page app. And, I can’t reply to FB comments since I can’t access FB app on my iPhone!

Before I left KL, I did some background checks on VPNs and how it works so I can find a way around the Facebook ban. And coincidentally, a representative from www.12Hide.com site actually emailed me if I’m interested to try their service.
Fabulous! Just in time for my Shanghai trip too! 🙂

After the disappointing Kaffa Coffee session, we took a walk across the square to Jin Yi by Coffee Ritual, right above Seri Penang and opposite Uptown 7, the multi-storey carpark for Uptown. Uptown area is notoriously popular with DBKL towing “services” so it’s advisable to park your vehicles in proper areas. The parking fee is negligibly RM1-RM2 per hour and there’s always space at the upper floors. Sure beats getting your car towed!

As promised I’m updating on my experience of Ippudo Ramen again as I was invited or a media tasting yesterday. However, as you know I’m in Shanghai this week, so I got my fellow ramen lover Fui to sample on my behalf. Both of us had ate at Ippudo Singapore, and he was also with me during my first visit to Ippudo Ramen, Pavilion KL.

As some of you may know (via my twitter, FB, FB page), I’m in Shanghai now enjoying the 2-8 celsius weather!
Ok, maybe not so much the weather but nevertheless the thrill of my “inaugural” visit to Shanghai, thanks to AAX inaugural flight is keeping me warm to my toes.

Everyone wants to know if the newly opened Ippudo Ramen in Pavilion serves ramen as good as the ones in Singapore. Or the ones in Japan. And is Ippudo the best there is for ramen satisfaction in KL?
