I'm assuming you're using Firefox.
Depends on the place. But in general you want to look at an onion router (basically it goes into a local "T. O. R. aware node" through an encrypted tunnel and back out the "democratic" end) such as the t 0 r p r 0 j e c t (take out the zeroes). Along with its firefox add-on, you can turn the onion router on and off. The nodes tend to be very busy so be polite with the bandwidth and you should be fine.
Also look for Great Ladder (gladder)
If you are reading blogs, try to use an online blog reader that is not itself blocked (like Google Reader).
Finally there is something called ultr2r3ach as well.
If you're traveling try to get it all working before you leave there so it's all ready for you once you're there. I've anonymized some of it because they usually keyword block it in-country.

Yes, I use firefox.
No I'm not travelling, I moved to China, so I can only access things that aren't already blocked here in order to get around the censors.
Actually a lot of content isn't blocked in English, but some stuff is - blogs mostly, youtube, some news websites.
And just random pages, that you think should work, don't.
I've added gladder, and it seems to be good!
torproject is blocked as is anonymouse is also.
Thanks muchly.

When I was living in China I found using http://anonymouse.org/ to be the most convenient, since honestly you don't notice the censorship as much as you would expect.
I also used http://www.torproject.org/ when anonymouse wouldn't cut it.
