Some more Hong Kong blogs:
joyceyland
and Learning Cantonese are both in English, but Digital Voodoo Hongkong Weblog is in German.
Oh, and there’s Hong Kong or bust and Marcus’ blog (shouldn’t that be Marcus’s blog?), and probably a few dozen more that I have overlooked.
Regarding your remark on my blog’s name – nope it should be Marcus’ blog according to your British spelling rules 🙂 Cheers, Marcus.

Hmmm. It seems that there are different opinions on this, but I regard The Economist Style Guide as a good authority for modern written English and they agree with me.
Apostrophes
Use the normal possessive ending ‘s after singular words or names that end in s: boss’s, caucus’s, Delors’s, St James’s, Jones’s, Shanks’s. Use it after plurals that do not end in s: children’s, Frenchmen’s, media’s.
but I will reluctantly admit that your usage is also acceptable (to some people).

Hmmm – looks like you’re right indeed.
Now I need to get back at an English teacher that drilled into my brain that using ‘s after any word ending with an s is wrong.
Anyway – thanks for pointing it out – I’ll keep my Marcus’ Blog for now though 🙂

why would you continue to listen to your English teacher at whatever age you are now?
The Economist is clearly the Big Brain the rules the world!

Right? Geeze, Marcus follow the link and note the next paragraph before you give in!
Use the ending s’ on plurals that end in s—Danes’, bosses’, Joneses’—including plural names that take a singular verb, eg, Reuters’, Barclays’, Stewarts & Lloyds’, Salomon Brothers’.
THUS Marcus’ is the correct way to demonstrate the posessive on a word ending in S.

Oh no, it isn’t, unless the blog is written by several people call Marcu (which, on balance, I think is unlikely).
However, I do accept that many people do think that that “Marcus’ blog” is correct – but not The Ecomomist Style Guide.
