Censorship

Internet censorship comes to markandkate.blogspot.com.

After a bit of research, we've finally come to the conclusion that certain websites are censored here. Apparantly, it's been like this in China for quite some time but on the web there is very little about Vietnam restricting access. It's quite surprising as up until now there's been remarkably little evidence of Vietnam's communist roots.

It's only some websites and the reason we've noticed it is that we can't access our blog anymore. We can still post messages to it, but we have no way of reading them afterwards.

Of course, we could be completely wrong but in every internet cafe throughout Vietnam, it's failed. It's not just our site but all the other .blogspots are blocked too.

I think you'll find that the censorship may have been made by the British Tourist industry in a last vein attempt to encourage people to visit Bognor rather than travel abroad.

However due to the UK's general lack of IT skills (now Mark's gone) they only managed to partially block the site at your end.
