Hello everyone,

Here are a few World IPv6 Day observations.

Arabic localizations for Google, Yahoo and Bing are not working today if I run 
an IPv6 connection. Google thinks I am in Holland, Bing thinks I am in Canada 
and Yahoo doesn't default to the maktoob.yahoo.com portal used in the Arab 
world. This could be explained that I am on a public IPv6 address that uses the 
Freenet6 IPv6 server in Amsterdam and a Canadian ISP assigned block of IPv6 
addresses. 

This means Middle East ISPs should give IPv6 access to their subscribers over 
their own IPv6 assigned address blocks to get web page localizations to work.

Otherwise things are running smoothly as standard pings to the regular 
web'pages of Facebook, Bing, Yahoo, CNN and Google are all defaulting to IPv6 
addresses and responses without the brute force of "ping -6". And running in 
IPv4 only mode has no issues as well.

All the best,
-Ahmed
