Our Man had a lovely, but hectic weekend and enjoyed meeting up with an old friend who pointed Our Man toward Raw Japan, the stab at a blog by those nice folk at Reuters. (Question to the pros at the dead tree press and the wire services: why don't you ever have hit counters on your sites - do you have something to hide?) Our Man reckons Reuters overwrites, but hey, what does he know? They are Reuters with a capital R. Because of this (the overwriting, not the capital R) they sadly don't qualify for Our Man's oft forgotten (by himself) BLOG OF THE WEEK. Instead, that honour goes to Green-Eyed Geisha. But that's not a very political blog, you say. True, but it is written by a foreign woman (remember them?) who works in a Japanese company. She's got things to say about her lot in life (check out her latest post here (about foreign women moaning about being unable to find a foreign date in Japan) and it ain't always pretty, but is usually interesting and rarely right-on. Remember - personal is political. You go girl! Tell it like it is.
By the way, image lifted from here.

intersting blog.
does defy belief that people could go to japan and moan about all the totty being Asian.........
'and it ain't always pretty, but is usually interesting and rarely right-on. Remember - personal is political.'
that could a definition for 'interesting blogs'
I ahte these f****** corporate style bloggers with their not so hidden agendas and patently obvious paymasters.
As always DK, you've got it in one, methinks.
Do I have the right to confront my accuser? :) The last time I checked being "rarely right-on" wasn't a compliment but thank you kindly for the review and the title, which made me laugh.
'The last time I checked being "rarely right-on" wasn't a compliment '
it is in our world.
You are more than welcome to confront Our Man. Actually being rarely right-on is the highest praise Our Man can think of - who wants to read what everyone already knows (or thinks they know). Anyway, even happier to make you laugh.
