DW is a cool site… I used their Warum Nicth and Wieso Nicht when I learnt Deutsch.. pretty good programs too. That’s cool that you’re nominated there… I missed it though.. but I am just happy to read that you are there.I definitely like your writing. :-)

i think your command of the chinese language is fantastic! i’m malaysian chinese, and i speak the language terribly.

i’m in beijing now – have been for a week, and will be for the next few days. i wish i had more time to learn more about the language, culture, history of china.

you’re such an inspiration! i hope one day i can blog in chinese too! =)

yours is better because you’re honest, and in a honesty way which is hard in China…does that matter which one is the best? many of them are, including yours…

So DW is still doing that. Somehow they have kept a keen sense of what’s going on in China. The nomination of Muzimei in blog year 0 is a sound proof.

I wish there were a category ‘best maveric blog in Chinese’ so I can vote Brendan in. Not for a talking dog, but an animal with insight.

Brendan, your not to vote for the talking dog recommendation doesn’t seem to justify
I think all dogs or cats love very much to talk
the problem’s most can’t
Many chinese can talk/write pretty good english/french/whatever
But it shows no peculiarity as people are taking it for granted in an english dominant world
Yet someone like your good self who can write formidable chinese do amaze chinese
and foreigners in particular
Afterall I do apprehend your I couldnt care less attitude ;p
Ive no idea what sort of benchmark’s set for all those bestwebvote
Or no benchmark is the benchmarch
Who actually takes them setiousely
I couldnt care less
