Which websites I can connect in China?

I am in Shanghai now.
I am wondering which websites I can connect in China? I mean for those I use frequently.

I cannot connect to Facebook in China.
Moreover, no Picasa, no Backpackers.com.tw, no Wretch, no Blogspot.com, no Yahoo Taiwan
Those websites are the most important Internet sites in my life.
Without them, I feel I am isolated from the world.
How can I live without them?

Does it mean I need to have new social life, new personal website, new Internet albums, and even new ways to read news which are selected by brilliant government in advance?

I feel super upset now and I am glad I will work in Hong Kong, not Shanghai.
I guess it is hard to understand and feel the same frustration, unless you've had same experiences in China...
Especially my life is linked to Taiwan, while the word "Taiwan" itself is already a sensitive word for Chinese government, which means many websites I always use are already blocked by the government and I cannot see them in China. How frustrated.

Btw, if I publish this article successfully, it doesn't mean I can connect Blogspot.com in China. But it means that Blogspot has a wonderful function, which gives me opportunity to blog via gmail, not via Blogspot.com.

Cross the fingers!
