I see that Fumier is back, back, back. Same old nonsense, but this time the old cheapskate is on Blogger.

I just noticed that the very first post here was exactly 4 years ago. There are still a few other of my contemporaries hanging on, but only just. I know how they feel! There are probably dozens of splendid blogs out there, but these days I don’t seem to have the enthusiasm to look for them…

Vince from HKMacs has reminded me that my list of Hong Kong blogs needed updating, and his prize is to get reinstated (probably for the 17th time). I notice that a few of my contemporaries are flagging. Some have sprung back into life recently, and so they live to fight another day, but others have…

I see that Fumier has closed down his blog. It just disappeared on Monday evening, with not so much as a word of explanation, and without any warning. Where will I be able to read about the poor standard of driving in Hong Kong? As if I cared… Does this mean that Freddie Fumier will…

Hello to Hong Kong Diaries, which is in the fine tradition of blogs by foreigners coming over to Hong Kong and being delighted and horrified all at the same time. We’re all so polite, apparently. I have removed Hotel Splendide as it seems to be closed for renovation.

I’ve mentioned Nury Vittachi’s blog here before. Now he has redesigned it, purchased a new domain, and started writing a diary that is someone similar to the Lai See column of old (which ran in the SCMP until 1997 and then in the iMail for a year or two) – though naturally you can expect…

Sex and The Single Saucepan is a new blog about chocolate and stuff from "Em". I am not sure whether I have mentioned RConversation from Rebecca MacKinnon or Hong Blog. Oh, I just did…

One thing I find slightly strange about (English language) Hong Kong blogs is that you very rarely get anything even approaching controversy, let alone any feuds, between bloggers. Perhaps this is because there aren’t that many of us, and that most people steer clear of politics. One exception is Roland Soong’s ESWN. I’ve mentioned this…
