I've been checking into a local weblog, if we can call weblogs local in the sense that we live in the same city, called Down and Out in Sài Gòn. Recently the weblog has become more concerned with American politics. The entries are well-informed, perhaps so much that as an American I am often found being schooled by the Australian blogger. If politics are not your thing, perhaps a core fascination with language is. If you live in Saigon, you should check it out.
