Via Shaky, a blog that certainly deserves a mention here because it is written by a resident of Hong Kong (though it seems he is about to move on to Singapore). He appears to be Australian, but I suppose we can forgive him that.

He seems to live the typical expat lifestyle, so this is more Shaky than Ordinary Gweilo, but it is less geeky (what isn’t?) and more given to musing on what is happening in the world. Take a look at Expat@Large

Meanwhile, Shaky had a weekend in Tokyo…so he decided to re-design his site. Big improvement on the legibility front, with larger text that fills the screen rather than the old river of text down the middle of the screen, and black text on a white background rather than white on black, but currently it looks a bit anonymous. I’m not complaining (being able to read it counts as an advantage as far as I am concerned), and he’s still fiddling around with it so it may change at any time.

Meanwhile, Henry has gone away for an unspecified period, and Ron is going into hospital. Get well soon!
