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.

For once, I have to agree with Fumier: I’m getting really, really tired of drivers who put on their hazard lights every time they slow down or stop. Ooh! Traffic lights. Better put on the hazards. Ooh! A roundabout. Better put on the hazards. Ooh! I’m going to turn right. Better put on the hazards.…

Well, this is quite something, I suppose. It’s apparently* a scene from the battle of Helms Deep, which is from The Two Towers, by that Tolkien chap. It’s made from cardboard, glue, icing and a whole lot of candy: It clocked in at about 7 feet long by 3 feet deep by 2 feet tall.…

To mark the new year, I have updated my list of Hong Kong blogs. I have added quite a few, some of which have actually been around a long time, and removed a few, mainly because they are no more (most notably Mia, who says she is moving on). Check them out, as I…

The blog with no comments continues to puzzle me not inconsiderably.

This ought to be a useful public service for those us too lazy to learn Chinese, because the harsh reality is that Dr.…

Was there a cricket match recently somwhere in this part of the world? They’re generally very dull affairs, particularly the last day, so I don’t suppose I missed anything. Meanwhile, in the make believe world of blogs, DGNY would seem to be having a good time in Italy.

I have just discovered that Nury Vittachi has a blog (The Curious Diary of Mr Jam). Quite an interesting read, and some of it is even informative.

Way back when, there was quite an entertaining spat on here concerning a blog called Hong Kong Phooey that briefly burst into life and then disappeared again. I suppose that it was inevitable that someone would use the same name again, and so here is the second incarnation of Hong Kong Phooey. A crowd-pleasing mix…

A brief update on Hong Kong blogs. Someone presumed to be a Kiwi has started a new blog at HK Ham, but has not yet been added to the list of HK blogs because of a bug in Typepad. Grrrr… DGNYHK has left Hong Kong, but I have been unable to add Tribe DGNY to…
