Japanese blogs: Three for the price of one



Can you believe it? It's been over a month since Our Man had a Blog of the Week post. Shocking, huh? But fear not, Our Man has been around the world and he's found not one, not two but THREE blogs of the week, all for the same crazy price. But hurry, this is a one-off, first-come, first-served deal. (Free subscriptions for a year if you can spot the connection between them):

Janne in Osaka - He blogs with panache, and often with professional pics, frequently about J-politics. Recent post here.

Kurashi - He blogs about greeny stuff, but don't worry he's funny and good - see here.

Adventures of a Foreign Salaryman - Not so political, but very funny observations about, er, the adventures of a foreign salaryman. If Our Man were a betting man, he'd say this one was the most likely to get a lucrative book deal in the future. Check out a recent post (where Our Man got the picture from too) here. 

Oh, the connection? They are all written by Swedes. Wow. If Our Man were still in local newspapers the headline would be Swede dreams or Swede and sour. Thank the Lord that Our Man's just another blogger.

Thanks for the photo, it made my day. I'd use it for the cover of my book, except we've already settled on a different theme... ;(

Tee hee. Congrats on the book, lucky Our Man's not a betting man after all.

Hey there, I completely missed this one until now when I finally got around to have time to check out the blogs again after my trip to the old country!

Thanks for the recommendation, somehow, sometime, somewhere I'll return the favor!

No thanks or favours needed, just doing my job Mr S.

Mr. Salaryman said...

But yeah, you wrote "lucrative book deal" so I think I'm still in the game, but I might need to tone down the "Shitty box" and pygmy posts before that happens (in a brief moment of clarity...)

Nahh, it's the Jesus Toy thing that might ruffle publishers' feathers, methinks, but f*ck 'em. It's what the (discerning) public wants.
