Ordinary Gweilo

100sq foot each is a new blog noticed by Simon.  The author is another Brit married to a Hong Kong Chinese, and he claims to live in Island East (as Swire are trying to persuade us to call the area they are re-developing in the vicinity of Quarry Bay).  He wishes us to know that he is employed on local (rather than expat) terms and the title of the blog implies that he lives in a relatively small apartment, not one of those luxury apartments where will you find the real expats working for international banks.  So far he has posted some thoughtful comments on racism on Hong Kong, the ESF, and intellectual property. 

Just a thought – shouldn’t it be 100sq feet?

I should also note that I have changed my policy on listing blogs.  I have decided that I will list all Hong Kong blogs that I know of, and the criteria will be that they post regularly and in turn list a reasonable number of other Hong Kong blogs.  Accordingly, I have added Black and white blog to the list on the right-hand side – I blame Spirit Fingers, and if you want to complain, contact her.  It’s probably not work safe, and not suitable for children.  The management wishes to make it clear that links on this page do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the blog in question.  Fumier, for example, is a big pile of poo.
