More on Iblog2 from PCIJ.
PCIJ has it's own blogging conference too called Free Expression in Asian Cyberspace on Apr. 19-21.
Jester in Exile has a map of where the Iblog2 venue is located, and instructions for those unfamiliar with UP Diliman on how to get there.
Commuters (like me)
Option 1 - Alabangers' Route
Take the bus/ jeepney to Alabang
Take the bus from Alabang that has the signboard "Philcoa"
Get off at Philcoa
Take the Philcoa jeep to UP Campus
Get off along the Sunken Garden
Walk along Ma. Regidor Street (in front of Vinzons Hall), going past the buildings of the College of Business of Administration and the School of Economics (they should be on your RIGHT)
Cross the Osmeña Avenue intersection (do not stray!)
The College of Law building is on the LEFT.
Option 2 - Calambangers' Route
Take the bus/ jeepney to Calamba
Take the bus from Calamba that has the signboard "Philcoa"
Get off at Philcoa
Take the Philcoa jeep to UP Campus
Get off along the Sunken Garden
Walk along Ma. Regidor Street (in front of Vinzons Hall), going past the buildings of the College of Business of Administration and the School of Economics (they should be on your RIGHT)
Cross the Osmeña Avenue intersection (do not stray!)
The College of Law building is on the LEFT.
Btw, here's Rebecca's post on internet censorship in China.
And here's the latest from Rebecca on imprissoned Chinese blogger and Global Voices Online Northeast Asia editor Hao Wu. 52 days and counting...
