By some strange luck, the internet connection was working again in the apartment in the International City.
My friend also tried to use SKYPE to call Malaysian mobile number, and the 15 minutes of porridge boiling only cost him ONE US DOLLAR (3.65 Dirhams!)
Well, not to waste the 2 Mb bandwidth, more pictures have been uploaded to the FLICKR site, and also an update of this blog! More freebies were also downloaded from the iTunes Music Store (yay!)
Also got glimpses of the Pirelli 2007 calendar with Naomi Watts, Hilary Swank, Lou Doillon, Penelope Cruz and Sofia Loren (huh!?) Do subscribe to the free membership to download loads of swanky clips from the site!
All in avant-garde Black & White.

Hello,
After travelling in Dubai (UAE) and in China, I found a software that unblock Skype and censored contents in some countries.
I know Skype is blocked or there is censor in the following countries : Belize, China, Columbia, Cuba, Jordan, UAE ...
After searching internet, I found a way to make calls and to access censored content in those countries using a VPN (Virtual Private Network).
How does it works ?
A VPN encrypte the data you send on internet to a US IP adress (tunnel). This way your Internet Services Provider can't detect you are using Skype or another VoIP software ! It allow you access to censored content and geographical locked contents (i.e: listening radio on pandora.com , watching TV streams for US residents, ...).
There is a lot of VPN softwares, the first I tried was VPNaccounts. I didn't like it because it took a lot of time for activation, it was expensive and helpdesk support was very slow.
A friend of mine who lives in Belize told me about another VPN software called Witopia personnalVPN.
Now I am using Witopia personnalVPN. It is easier to use (you just have to launch the software before launching Skype), faster and cheaper than all other VPN softwares I tried.
It costs 39.99$ and works perfectly.
You can download it from the editor's website : Witopia personnalVPN
Works on Windows and Mac.
I hope this post will help people who are in those countries and reducing censorship !
