First impression of Beijing

Yeeha...
I arrived in Beijing.
The city center is great, very modern, very clean and highly developed.
I live in a hotel next to the Forbidden City... a very nice view.

The people are funny... a city of comedians.

After one minute of internet I realized a thing I absolutely dislike: internet censorship. OK, I knew it before, but realizing (better: experiencing) the fact that it is just not possible to visit foreign blogs or wikipedia is very strange. I can write blog entries, but I can't take a look at them afterwards.
I am sure it has also positive aspects for Chinese society, but at the moment I consider this censorship as uncomfortable and a little bit annoying.
