I nominate:
Argus
http://www.registan.net/
Posted by Rezwan at December 5, 2004 06:00 PM
well, that goes without saying...the argus has my nomination as well...
Posted by jodi at December 5, 2004 06:37 PM
Yes, Argus has mine as well
Posted by YBII at December 6, 2004 04:03 AM
Also "SiberianLight", as I can't see "Russian Blogs", I guess it might go under this catagory.
Posted by YBII at December 6, 2004 04:05 AM
Well, here's a few I'd recommend:
Sgt. Hook (though he's home now)
Wanderlustress
Ryan Giordano in Kazakhstan
And, if I could nominate a category of a blog, it would be Amanda in Kazakhstan at Crescat Sententia.

This bizarre blog by a former porno director is hilarious one day, offensive the next, and then he goes and surprises you with moving and poignant the day after that. Basically, it's a really angry guy who guys around Tokyo talking to homeless people, giving people the finger to strangers and photographing their reaction, or exploring the city's alternative culture of raves and costume play.
Classic posts: Action reading vs. skinhead monk - http://masamania.com/archives/2004/10/action_reading.html

I'd like to nominate Sassy Lawyer in the Philippines at http://houseonahill.net
Insightful, provocative, educational, well written; expectations of interest always satisfied when I visit the Sassy Lawyer's blog.
Posted by Fred Siwak at December 9, 2004 04:19 AM
nominate Sassy Lawyer in Philippine Suburbia for the Best Philippines Blog (http//:houseonahill.net).
Posted by Anna Coloma at December 10, 2004 03:02 AM
There are many other excellent blogs in the Philippines other than the Sassy Lawyer's.
I nominate and give my vote for Manuel L. Quezon III. It is a true Filipino blog, more informative, and should be also be recognized. Mr Quezon is the grandson of former President Quezon who was a respected leader of the Philippines during WWII.

Best Japan Blog
Tokyo Times
Posted by Spirit Fingers at December 2, 2004 11:27 AM
Japan Window -- Great photos and interesting commentary about life in Japan.
Posted by wulong at December 4, 2004 03:17 AM
http://masamania.com/
This bizarre blog by a former porno director is hilarious one day, offensive the next, and then he goes and surprises you with moving and poignant the day after that. Basically, it's a really angry guy who guys around Tokyo talking to homeless people, giving people the finger to strangers and photographing their reaction, or exploring the city's alternative culture of raves and costume play.
Classic posts: Action reading vs. skinhead monk - http://masamania.com/archives/2004/10/action_reading.html
Song for homeless man - http://masamania.com/archives/2004/09/song_for_hopele.html
Posted by himajin at December 6, 2004 05:52 AM

I can't nominate myself (Adamu's Jappanica), so I'll go ahead and nominate Joe's NichiNichi blog, covering political news from Japan. It's a valuable resource to those interested in Japan politics.
Posted by Adamu at December 8, 2004 05:44 AM
Confessions of a Grade School Role Model
Posted by Andy at December 8, 2004 08:12 PM
I nominate Adamu's Jappanica, not because he nominated me but because his blog kicks ass (without it, I would not know about the Konami School).
I will be hardpressed to choose between MasaManiA and Adamu in the final vote. I'll let the whiskey do the talking on that one.
Posted by Joe at December 9, 2004 10:01 AM
Yeah I'll probably end up voting for Masamania myself. He puts all of us to shame.
Posted by Adamu at December 9, 2004 09:47 PM
I nominate....myself (Sushicam.com)
I missed out on being #1 last year by one vote. Let's see if I can win this thing this year.

Err, guys. While I am all for Pok Ku, you do realise that this is nomination and if a guy is nominated, you wait for the voting stage. I ask you not to take Pok Ku's name in vain by spamming this comment space.
Now let's wait for vote day and get Pok Ku on the map as a very Malaysian blog.
And stop spamming. It does not make us look good.

http://jogalong.blogspot.com/
Posted by Rajan R at December 10, 2004 01:33 PM
Attention Pok Ku followers: we only needed to nominate him once! (which means it was totally unnecessary for me to second his nomination!)
The real voting doesn't start till the 15th. Vote for him then!

Thanks for nominating ...of glowsticks & dice. I used to run that whilst I was in China, but it's happening over at http://premiumblend.blogspot.com now. Technically, I can't be nominated in this category because I'm not living in China anymore.
I do still visit and write about it, though, so I wouldn't object to being nominated.

I nominate Dan Wahburn's Shanghai Diaries http://www.shanghaidiaries.com/
If you had a category for travel blog I would nominate it for "The Trip" part of the blog which just concluded. Dan is an gifted writer and I felt as if I was traveling along with him.

Best HK Blog
I nominate Simon World (http://simonworld.mu.nu/) for best HK blog.
Posted by Infidel at December 2, 2004 06:37 AM
Hm, it's a close one but I pick the Gweilo - www.gweilodiaries.com. Honourable mention to Simon World.
Posted by Fabian at December 2, 2004 10:25 AM
i vote hemlock for best hk blog. as i understand it i can not vote for you simon is that right? can i vote for you in another category.
please also remove shandyman from the voting (i think only my mum would vote for me anyhow to be honest, and even that would require a bribe). My sporadic rants about women and flagrant plagarisms are just not worthy.

I nominate BIG WHITE GUY - for the most boring blog that is!

I nominate the Shaky Kaiser for all-round bloke-ish fun
http://www.shakykaiser.com/blog/
Posted by Chris White at December 2, 2004 06:15 PM
I nominate -
1) Fumier (http://fumier.typepad.com/)
2) Yoga Yuga (http://www.yogayuga.com/)
Well, in fact I nominate all the other Hong Kong blogs not nominated above. That is, if I can do that.
However, please do not nominate See Lai (and Nude King) for this year's award. Mainly because after about one month, See Lai will no longer be a blog but a web site (and I may not be the owner anymore).
Many thanks in advance and I wish all the best to all the participants.
Cheers!

Yeah, Hemlock's pretty good. But he never posts any funny animal pictures, which kind of spoils the fun for me. I'm voting for the Big White Guy.
Posted by Harry Hutton at December 6, 2004 09:49 AM
By the way, best Vietnam blog? Who the fuck has an opinion on best Vietnam blog?
Gonna spoil my ballot on that one. Or vote for the funniest name.
Posted by Harry Hutton at December 6, 2004 09:52 AM
Can I vote in Mia, from Discombobulated Mia? SHe's a sweetie.
Posted by Helen at December 6, 2004 08:40 PM

Posted by Luo Dawei at December 7, 2004 03:02 AM

I'd give a tertiary nomination for Gweilodiaries, but it seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. Anyone know what happened to him?
