Israel
The Israeli blogference was a 2 day conference about the local and international blogging world. I arrived late at the end of the 2nd day with my personal Taiwanese blog-expert. I didn’t attend any of the seminars and presentations, but still - here are some quick notes about the short time I was there:

The German version says three, but in the Hebrew version one of them got lost. The German version says the policeman asked a question, the Hebrew version he drove them away. Help me find where one Chinese man went missing to and how come the policeman turned aggressive.
When I grew up, my parents loved to play [...]

During March earlier this year, I discussed using SEO as means to promote the Taiwanese blogosphere in "English Taiwan : The websphere, the blogosphere, traffic, SEO and the need for a profound change". I got mixed responses - few supported, most criticized. I don’t want to raise the whole issue again as it’s almost a religious debate, [...]
News travels fast. It’s quite extraordinary, really. I never thought that people from all over the world, some of whom I’ve never met, would take interest in what’s happening with me.

To light up the sun in laugh, cry, and melody
I’m coming, I’m already here
The banister’s wet

China
The China blogosphere has it all - business, trade, education, travel , expat, technology, law, and humor blogs written by full-time, part-time, problogging, and hobby bloggers. Seeing myself as being somewhat of a side-member in a few blogospheres (Taiwan/Israel-English/technology) I find the growth of the China blogosphere remarkable.

Two years ago today, I left Israel and set off to Asia in what has probably been the most important decision of my life. That’s also when I started this blog and detailed my life across Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Singapore, HK, and Taiwan.
It was a year ago that I left Asia and came back west. That’s [...]
While visiting the Taiwanese Chinese new years party a week ago with a Taiwanese student friend from the Hebrew University - Wen, I finally had the chance to meet Ruby who I know through her Taiwanese blogging about Israel and Violet who’s an Israeli-Taiwanese girl studying Mandarin Chinese through blogging in Chinese about her life in Israel.
