For a few reasons, being among them boredom and vanity, I decided to do another blog. It will probably end up with me posting entries consistently for about three weeks and then abandoning it, a la the jasoninaustralia blog. Therefore, I make no promises about consistency and/or quality.
First things first - I'm not going to blog about or link to anything controversial. There's plenty to write about Shanghai alone, and I really don't care that much about the political issues in China right now. Expect entries to be comprised of things like "Wow, there's a lot of people here!!1!1!" and not "China must stop XXXX right now, blah blah blah."
Secondly, for anyone who ends up reading this, please ask questions or come up with stuff for me to write about. I am incredibly lazy when it comes to doing this and input will provide at least some motivation.
Lastly, I'm really going to try to avoid any posts about the Olympics, mainly because there's literally dozens of quality blogs in China doing a pretty solid job of covering it. The only thing you might see is links. I'm going to try to include links, usually to other blogs, that might be of interest. This is pretty much going to be a blog about what might randomly stand out if anyone from the West came here.
Otherwise, I'd check back maybe weekly for posts. I don't see myself putting up anything interesting more than once every week or two.
As for the link I promised -

From a blog I read here pretty often. The writer puts it in a pretty funny way.

w00t! First (last?) comment.
Since you seem to no longer answer facebook questions, I'll ask it here: how did cricket go? Did everything I taught you (i.e. to play the conditions) prove handy?
So you are in China at one of the most interesting times to be there, but you don't want to write about the Olympics, politics, or anything controversial. Did you strike some deal with the Chinese government in exchange for a visa or are you really just phoning this blog in?
