Susie's Big Adventure is Blocked
Susie's Big Adventure is an award-winning blog of an expat in Saudi. It's now blocked. Why?
Susie is an American married to a Saudi man. Her family is now residing in Saudi Arabia. Susie's Big Adventure is a blog that contains Susie's narrative of her life in and her views of and about Saudi. Recently, she won the 2009 Weblog Award for Best Asian Blog.
I admire her blog because her writing is honest, insightful and very informative.
This evening, I found that her site is blocked. If you click the screenshot below, it's supposed to take you to her site.
I hope it's just a glitch.

Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks for sharing her site...
Probably it is only blocked in KSA, but NOT IN DOHA.
Thank you for sharing her site.
A blessed Monday my friend.
Nebz, I'm able to open it. Such an insightful and informative blog as you said it.
I already sent the blog link to my wife so she can learn more of Saudi Arabia and its culture.
By the way, I also sent your link for them to read the blogs that I highly appreciate and follow.
Congrats Nebz for being nominated to the FreedomToBlog.com Best of Blog Entry.
Good luck and wish you the best! Count us in for any support!
I added the blog to my reader. Looks like an interesting site. Thanks for sharing.=)
okey po dito sa abu dhabi...
nabuksan ko siya...
babasahin ko siya..now na..hehehe
Huhmn... got it. Style niyo lang po yung sinasabi niyong 'blocked ang blog ni Susie. Hahaha! U
I wanted to thank you for your kind words and support. I too hope the blocking of my blog will be resolved soon. I appreciate your bringing it to light. Thanks again.
I am subscribed to the RSS feed of Susie's Big Adventure. I was surprised when the recent entry failed to load. I thought it was a glitch on my feed reader but a few days after, Saudi Jeans (another famous Saudi blogger [saudijeans.org]) has said in his latest entry that Ms. Susie's blog is indeed blocked by the CITC. Ugh.
We all hope this issue gets resolved the soonest. The blog is highly insightful and interesting. A must-read!
