Replying to [grigo]:For the first day, 27 Dec, we could not open, MSN, Yahoo and other international websites. Even Alibaba also have effect and could not be signed in.

All the messangers stopped for the first day. Yahoo take 3 days to restart and MSN also two days.

I got message on skype after 3rd day, and still take much time to reach. Still somewebsites can not be excessed.

The situation was so bad in China. The earthquake made the accesses to overseas websites unavailable. MSN messenger log on were all denied. Some say it would take about 2 weeks to reconnect the damaged cables. We were very much converned.

Now, it seems everything is back to the right track. I coun'd believe it. [em3][em3]
