Amoy, Amoy

Update: I am moving all the Amoy, Amoy posts here. I simply don’t have time to run a third site.

Announcing the arrival of Amoy, Amoy, a no-holds barred look at life in Xiamen.

More no-holds barred than here, you ask?

Longer, with less swearing, I answer.

A column will get me to flex my writing muscle on a regular basis, not just read the news and post outraged responses to whatever is outrageous today. It should, hopefully, help me to focus one aspect of my writing (I like to think of it as ‘work’) while I play in the weblog.

Think of me as the Insight Giver. Think of me as the Foreigner. When you think of Xiamen, Think of Me.

(I’m not to be confused with Bill Brown, who is the Original Foreigner. The Original Foreigner has a full-time job at the university, otherwise I’m sure he’d be all about the columns, too. I think. I don’t know him.)
