I'm travelling to China in March for business and would normally keep in touch with DH using Facebook Chat, but as FB is blocked in China that's a no go. I'll obviously email, but it would be nice to have sametime conversations (when the 8 hour time difference allows). Can anyone recommend an alternative that isn't blocked? My new job includes quite a lot of travel in Russia and Central Asia, so something that works across the board would be ace.
Any other tips for the trip would be amazing - I'm going to be visiting Shanghai and Beijing. Although I spent nearly two decades growing up in HK, this is my first visit to China, so although it won't be a total culture shock I'm still expecting it to be pretty different.
Thank you!
