The feeling of living in Canada - Internet

It is an information time now. To anyone who have immigrated to a new country, the internet is one of the most important tools to help them to do lots of things, such as communicating with their relatives and friends, transferring money from the bank in their homeland to the one in new country, finding job, doing some deals on eBay, or making new friends on social networking websites...
Someone may ask me: " Hi, internet is very common now. Why do you want to talk about it here? ". Yes, Internet is common thing in all of the world. But in my country, the internet is not 'open completely'. The internet and intranet are all strictly monitored and managed by the government. I will show you two interesting stories about it.
In my country, many famous websites are limited to visit, including Facebook, Wiki, Google groups, CNN, even Sourceforge for developers. But technical guys need to learn newest technology and follow the technical expert in their areas from Facebook. Then some software geniuses developed a software used for jumping the visiting limitation. They named it 'jumping wall'.
The another story is about intranet. It is a real story and more interesting. I will write it in next blog.
