Glutter’s Hong Kong
Since Hkbloggers.com contacted me, (I just love the MTR map) asking me to join his comprehensive listings of HKong people who blog, then asked me if I knew of anymore. I made a list for him from my links. I think of most of us are born here, including the ones who aren’t Chinese, some now live or go to school abroad, (If that’s not HK I don’t know what is.) A few are children of Hong Kong immigrants. But I know that we feel really connected to this place, in each of our own way. Which is why I even know them, either in person or on the net. When I finished the list I got all fuzzy realizing half my links went that way and back. So I decided to put it up on my site as well.
I think I got everyone. Might have missed one or two, but I hope not!!! (Add yours if it’s not on la.)

Hmmm, not sure I should be on the list. I’m not even from Hong Kong or have much to do with it. Maybe this is a sign that I should’ve visited last winter…

I’m flattered to be on the list, but I am not from Hong Kong. Nor my family. We are from Toishan and speak in a loud village dialect. The furthest I’ve been from the US is Toronto, so I don’t know if I can claim any connection. The China and Hong Kong I have in my head are fantasies.
You have given me a lot of new sites to look at, though!

A link is always nice, but I also don’t believe I belong here. My husband’s family once lived in Hong Kong, years before he was born in the US. That’s my closest connection. Then again, I might have some relatives in Hong Kong through my British heritage, if I searched hard enough. 😉
What a great list of blogs to explore though – thanks!

PS. As I have said it to everyone who ever asked me about it. It’s nothing personal. I don’t know you, so I make no judgement. But it’s been my policy for over a year now. I hate their porn, I hate their gaze, and I hate the things they have said about me and others, Chinese people in general and their behavior towards other people on the net.
As far as i am concerned, I want to be at least two degrees away, if I could, I wish I could forsake my geographical affiliation, so much is my distaste.

Perhaps you should look at my post:
Recently I noticed that a local blogger was looking to expand her blogroll and I applied politely to be listed. This person had been brought to my attention because of her inclusion in The Asia Blog Awards. I had looked at her blog and found it to be sensitively and intelligently written so I had in fact added her to my blogroll. To my utmost shock and surprise she tells me emphatically and I quote “Yes except you’re linked to Gwelo and See Lai and no one linked to them get a link on this site.” and continues “As I have said it to everyone who ever asked me about it. It’s nothing personal. I don’t know you, so I make no judgement. But it’s been my policy for over a year now. I hate their porn, I hate their gaze, and I hate the things they have said about me and others, Chinese people in general and their behavior towards other people on the net. As far as i am concerned, I want to be at least two degrees away, if I could, I wish I could forsake my geographical affiliation, so much is my distaste.”
I hope this person reflects on her words “It’s nothing personal. I don’t know you, so I make no judgement.”. Sorry, you are making a judgement. It is personal, very personal and I’m shocked. I have never as far as I know done anything to hurt this lady. I don’t hurt ladies. I have a very loving and honest relationship with my wife. I respect women. I don’t respect bigots. I don’t respect this person. Prejudice is a disease of the soul and that kind of hatred destroys the perpetrator.

You: pertain to the person the speaker is addressing.
They: Pertain to people other than the speaker is addressing. Other people.
I don’t find you distasteful. I want to put myself away from the people who are distasteful two degrees away from me.
You may not respect bigots, but you link to people who are sexist, occassionally racist and disrespectful to other people on the net. That is my opinion, and a well informed one as well, if you think differently that’s your perogrative.
I am glad you have a good relationship with you wife, I never questioned it, and do not particularly care in this instance. It’s not about YOU. It’s about people I want to dissassosiate myself with.
I am sorry you don’t respect me, but that feeling of non-respect not returned from my side..
However, neither do I covert, expect or want your respect. If someone wants to give it to me, I very much apreciate their kindnesss, and would thank them if they ever feel the need to let me know. If a stranger who chances on my life have a negative feelings about me, that’s their and theirs alone. I exist as I am.

Hear hear. Thanks for the link, Yan. BTB, for some reason, I am reminded of one of my favorite, nakedly expat hangouts while I was there so many years ago: Dan Ryan’s Chicago Bar and Grill. I think I even had Thanksgiving dinner there actually once. Everything comes full circle. Except I think my samfanjing is no longer valid. 😦
