One Year Anniversary
Well, folks, it'll be one year in a week or two. I've looked at other personal blogs abt China
and quite frankly, I don't see how they've done it as long as they
have(Pekingduck.org stands out).
I've tried to not be like most of the other blogs out there
and just report the news. Alot of the
blogs report the same news anyway. My
personal preference is....well, a personal blog giving my insights on whatever
piques my interest. I've got several lined
up actually, all China themed of course, based on my personal
observations.
For now, I just wanted to share which posts on my blog have
been the most popular to date.
The top 3 have been:
Lot of folks want to marry a Chinese, I guess.
In response to all the sob stories I hear from the Laowai.
One of the fews posts I just had to get out of my system
before I exploded!
I’ve been a bit surprised to see the top two in the top
spot. Honestly speaking, it tells a lot
about my audience.
Now, those three with the least hits…those I qualify as
proper posts anyway:
A bit surprised this posting is on the list. I haven’t reread it in a very long time, but
I will make time, to. What inspired me
to write it was the demonstration I saw in Shenzhen. The first allowed demonstrations I’d ever
seen there, actually. Shenzhen being
such a biz like town, their equivalent of our NYC, I think(more so than
Shanghai). Thus seeing all the youth,
who are there expressly to make money and what not, take time from their money
making activities to participate(and lead!) a demonstration was
impressive. I learned a lot abt China
that day. About how the youth are so
galvanized by Japan. How successful the
Chinese Propaganda Machine has been. All
very, very telling.
The unpopularity of this post has surprised me, I
guess. I thought it would be more
popular than it was. I guess what I wrote
was just common knowledge, and thus…..old hat.
I obviously didn’t strike a chord with this posting. I thought it was informative…..but could
just be poor writing. I haven’t read any
of the above in ages. I will endeavor to
do so.
Which post is my personal favorite? I’m not sure….I’ve got several. Too tired at the moment to actually put them
to paper, though. Maybe someday I’ll do
a TOP 5 for kicks and giggles.
I just returned from a biz trip, that involved 9 hrs of roundtrip
driving. I need to veg out a bit.
I’ve got the next 4-5 posts planned out. One of which is one of those “if I don’t do
it I’ll explode” types.
Thank you everybody for your comments….(not many, I know). It’s here though I want to give a shout out
to Sinolicious for allowing me to post on their site. Kalan Star is the founder of the blog.
It’s a Shanghai oriented site. I get a lot of hits on a few of my posts
that I’ve put up there. Dumbass that I am, I am so new to blogging
and how to blog, I totally neglected the fact that most folks cannot access my
blog in China, unless they have a VPN. That
includes me! I’m not an IT guy, and I
lack the audacity to create my own independent website because I lack the
knowledge of fending off hackers.
