Linkage

Like my blog? (yes. love.) Interested in more fun internets about China? (duh.) Here are some of my favorites.

Sinocidal
If 5 frat guys moved to China, this is probably what they would write. Sometimes garners a "tsk, that's awful!" and they can sound a little bitter about living here. All in good fun, though. (sometimes NSFW)
Example of awesomness

EastSouthWestNorth Roland Soong of Hong Kong translates poignant articles/blogs/commentaries from China. The text-only layout is worth sifting through! I usually skip over sections 1 and 2.
Here's a highlight from earlier in May

Sinosplice This guy's been living here for 7 years, so he's got a bit of a leg up on me. His website is pretty extensive, including some good resources for learning Chinese... just in case any of you have been inspired to join the rest of us cool kids over in the Middle Kingdom.

Onemanbandwidth: An American Teacher in China Not a huge fan of his topics as of late (he's also a consultant and SEO specialist), but his stellar writing keeps me coming back. Often funny, interesting, or both.

Time Magazine's China Blog Written by a few of Time's people currently living here. Good! I thought it'd be lame.

The Opposite End of China American in North West China who takes photos I'm jealous of.

12 Months in the Middle Kingdom
Also photos, also jealous.

China Law Blog Business Law in China, because someone's got to talk about something other than censorship and the Olympics.


Ok that's a start. Basically everyone who ever stepped foot in China blogged about it, so I have thousands where that came from.

Oh, and while I'm linking, NYT Mag had a really interesting article in early April about a young woman's attempt to bring Western-style education to China. Quite good, but I know you won't read all 12 pages.

Thanks for linking Sinocidal! I look forward to reading your blog.

BTW, you're 3/5ths correct. 3 of the Guys Hanging Around in China are British, in varying degrees....LOL
The other 2/5ths Americans.
