Four in the morning now, and I'm wide awake from jet lag. So I'm checking my blog stats, and out of the blue discover that The Foreigner in Formosa has been nominated for an Asia Blog Award.
Sure beats the usual kind of surprise I get after returning from vacation. You know, like the toilet isn't working, or something.
So a big Xie Xie Ni* to whomever it was that nominated me. I don't seriously expect to win, but the old cliche's a cliche because it happens to be true: It really IS an honor just to be nominated.
Heck, I'll go further than that. Some of those other sites are so good that it's an honor simply to be listed alongside them.

* Mandarin for "Thank you".
Who nominated you? That was Yog-Soggoth working through me, I think. There must have been a weak side in my pentagram....

You're probably right about the weak side. Whiteboard ink can sure smudge easy.
Thanks for the nomination.
