China Blog Awards
 |
These days, the China blogosphere there is rapidly expanding with cutting-edge and insightful sino-journalism becoming every more omnipresent. (Unfortunately the same cannot always be said for mainstream media.) To recognize the amateur talent out there, the folks at chinalyst.net have organized the 2007 China Blog Awards, and Midwesterner in the Middle Kingdom (the “official” name of this blog) is up for Best Personal Blog. Check it out, and vote for me if you think I am worthy. If not, there are many other China blogs out there which also deserve your vote. By the way, if anybody is interested, my current favorite China blogs are Chinalawblog, Sinosplice, & The Humanaught. All are worth several hours of your time.

This blog is pretty cool- I’ll vote for it. I’ve been in China for a couple of years but I’m just now getting into the 外国人 blogoverse, and you seem like a cool dude who understands what’s up. So, just one American giving a shout out to another. Plus I dig the observations about hairstyling. When I was in college I kinda opened a salon in my dorm room and I was cranking out like four or five haircuts a night and making a decent wage for an untrained college dude, though often the payment was Gatorade or ramen noodles
. After graduation I had to choose between China and a salon apprenticeship, and of course the decision was agonizing- yeah right

Weasels in reciprocity I call it. You laud Chinalawblog, and they give you a plug in their blog. The more I read this “Look at Me, Aren’t I Great” Blog, the more I find your tone and words a big repugnant. However, I will hang around for the tidbit of information that you can provide from time to time.
