From Macedonia, With Love
South Korea	Last week the Pohang Steelers soccer team traveled to Tashkent to play FC Bunyodkor of Uzbekistan. After a bit of extremely poor refereeing in the first leg - a Korean player gets elbowed by an Uzbek and it's the Korean who gets kicked out of the game, wtf - the two sides met once more, this time a...more info>>> Discovered on 30/09/2009 20:01:00 Discovered @ samedi.livejournal.com

Thai Website: Thailand Guidebook
Thailand	One of my favourite websites is our own www.thailandguidebook.com. It started as a student project where they put together information on every province in Thailand.

Environ Mental Anniversary
China	China is going totally over the top to remember 60 years of Communist Party rule, although they pretend it's China's birthday which is patently nonsense. October 1st will see an outpouring of propaganda from Beijing (which is more than the BeLeave Comment...more info>>> Discovered on 30/09/2009 16:01:00 Discovered @ liuzhou.blog-city.com
What I’ve been up to
China	It’s been brought to my attention that I’m not updating enough, so much so that friends have begun to worry that something has happened to me (sorry Zak!). Something has happened to me, and more on that later, but that is not the reason for my blog absence. I’ve simply been inundat...more info>>> Discovered on 30/09/2009 16:01:00 Discovered @ thehumanaught.com

Annoying Habits in the Gym
Malaysia	I’m not the complaining type, but certain things really take the cake. Like in the gym, for example. See, i spend a lot of time in the gym. After home and work, there’s the place I spend the most time (driving in my car doesn’t count in the list). And like any other place [...]...more info>>> Discovered on 30/09/2009 12:01:00 Discovered @ simontalks.com

Dalian vs. Suzhou
China	Despite the combative title, it’s rather tough to A-B the two places I’ve spent the most time with in China. They are both supported and mired by a number of attributes that make them both rather unique places to live. Last week Maggie and I grabbed a flight out of PVG and made our annua...more info>>> Discovered on 30/09/2009 08:01:00 Discovered @ thehumanaught.com

It's autumn. Time to pull on those running shoes!
Japan	It's still pretty warm, but the days should soon follow the nights and start cooling down as autumn takes hold. Accoring to the Japanese sayings, autumn is all about moving the body, reading the books and eating the food.
