Yan on why she delinked some bloggers: “on this side of the world these cheek touching men are always white and have a penchant for Asian Chicks. I find it gross. Really icky. Like the guys who go off to Thailand or Wan Chai and partake in the Asian Sex Trade. Me and my friends find them gross in real life. Sadly, people over in the China English blogging community seem to find it funny and acceptable.”
That public delinking (which is so 2003, by the way) was evidently brought to you by the Gweilo Diaries. To be honest, I wondered what effect putting photos of pretty girls would have on my hitcount. It would probably do wonders. At least more than having just pretty prose, which has what I've been trying—no word yet on the sucess rate—to do pretty much since this weblog's inception.
Pretty girls. Or pretty prose. Or both. Another dilemma.
