I have been tramping for a couple years now through Central America, Asia, Africa, and Europe. This is a lady's journey through the world, traveling and backpacking on a budget. Who says tramping isn't for women? Here are travel writings and stories about the folly of being a wondering woman, with tips and guides for females on the road.

Problems With the Internet in Taiwan

So I just arrived in Taiwan. The accommodations I have a la my school have an Ethernet cable to connect my laptop to the internet. I am having some problems with this connection though. First, it wouldn’t let me sign into my hotmail account. I restarted my computer and then it let me sign into the account.

Now, for some reason I can’t sign into my gmail account. I have been trying for hours, and all that comes up is a blank screen that says “done.” It will let me type in my username and password, but when I try to sign it the screen just remains blank. I tried refreshing it over and over and still no luck.

Can someone help me out with this? I can’t figure it out. Does Taiwan have some kind of block on gmail? I know China has a lot of filters and blocks on internet access. I am wondering if Taiwan does too.

At any rate, I need someone to help so I can check me e-mail!

Hi,
Thanks for sending that link. I checked it out and I don't think it was really anything on that page. I have no idea what was the problem. This morning I was able to check my gmail with no problem. Weird.
