  1. I may not be updating Twitter but I've scheduled posts over the next few weeks so keep checking www.farwestchina.com. Goodbye internet!
  2. If you didn't already know Xinjiang is still under an internet blackout. Find out more about my frustrations here http://bit.ly/3w2MCL
  3. Since the Xinjiang internet blackout over 200 people have added me as a friend. Here I am...and I'm leaving in 5 hours. Nice to meet you.
  4. It's 4am in #xinjiang right now and I'm too tired to keep reading redundant news. I'm not looking forward to sifting through this stuff tom.
  5. Travelers be advised: plans to visit Xinjiang this week should reschedule. Riots in #urumqi #xinjiang http://bit.ly/2xRfDH #lp
  6. RT @TheNewDominion: RT @mranti: It seems Chairman Nur Bekri's address has been canceled. News ticker's been down for a while.
  7. Separating fact from speculation about #urumqi. Here's what we DO know: http://bit.ly/2xRfDH
  8. RT @1rick: updated photos and links on #urumqi: http://drop.io/urumuqi (warning, some pics are graphic)
  9. My internet here in Xinjiang is running terribly slow. I hope it doesn't get cut off altogether.
  10. RT @mranti: Urumqi video near riot center 从乌市二道桥金银路“新疆教育科研所”拍的视频 RT @nicolas1030: 这视频背景一定是枪声吧 http://bit.ly/MePbb #urumqi
  11. @ibz As far as I know, reason for protest is unclear. One article from BBC: http://bit.ly/jmNSy For tons of info follow @mranti #urumqi
  12. Friends in Urumqi tell me cell service has been cut while cars are burning in the street. 3000 demonstrators to 1000 police.
  13. Today is not a good day for Xinjiang...riots cripple Urumqi; reports say 2 killed; city shut down http://bit.ly/3ThgJt
  14. Have a great July 4th, everybody. Don't forget to check out my Xinjiang Muslim Market post http://bit.ly/11tYcK. Adios for the weekend.
  15. I'm with you...sure saps the fun out of the holiday. RT @KellenParker: stuck in a city with few americans and no july 4 plans in sight
  16. @serpah Crap as in "just as crappy as the first 3 terminators" or crap as in "tons of explosions but no plot"? I don't mind either one :)
  17. RT @ajschokora: @danwei .org blocked? Can't access it out here in Xinjiang. #gfw
  18. @shanghailaine Ha! Thanks...I thoroughly enjoyed the laughter following Transformers 2, so I guess this should be good.
  19. Can anybody tell me if the new Terminator movie is worth watching? I'm thinking about going to see that tonight with a friend.
  20. ChinaSMACK seems to do a good job facilitating conversation while simultaneously failing to participate.
