I am in Turkey, where wordpress.com (yes, the entire domain) has been banned since August 2007. So I cannot access my blog, canno approve comments, cannot post about what would otherwise be an incredibly exciting trip, the furthest I have ever been.
Instead, I am like that cat on the wall, in Antalya, sulking a bit. I had no intention of making any kind of political comment on Turkey, but this is frustrating. I empathise with the Turkish bloggers, although I am only in this predicament temporarily. Will try the proxies, but longer tales of my travels will have to wait. Feel free to check my Flickr stream for photos.
And for those who left comments and didn’t see them – I received notification, but unless the proxy thing works still, I cannot approve them
Update: Apparently the proxy thing works. For now. I may blog properly, but I will definitely post some pix on Flickr!
