Word of my blog has reached the depths of the expat community and I am now (secretly) blogging for Nanjing Expat magazine. This is aimed us foreigners in the city and is distributed widely throughout the city. According to the editor my last piece was the one which caused the greatest number of comments and I’m pleased to say “complaints”. This is good. Who wants to write a blog which is so bland that nobody comments on it.
It must have been interesting to quite a few people because now I am to have my own regular column and a title for it! Wow – fame at last – well it would be fame if I didn’t hide behind a “non de plume”. I know it’s a bit cowardly but I don’t want people approaching me on the street accusing me of being a complete ******* for my opinions.
So the next blog is called “In praise of Chinglish” and I will post it here after it has been published in the magazine.
Got a pic of a new Chinglish sign in the aeroplane today. There was a sticker that read "Derby the world in my finger". It was under some Chinese writing so I am assuming it was a translation……..just don't have any idea what it could possibly mean. Will send on to you!
