Blog Roundup - October 25, 2009

This week's blog roundup is a little late this week. For that and the lack of updates over the past seven days, I apologise.

• Ask an Expat -The Expat talks about "love sticks" (사랑의 매) and classroom discipline in South Korea.
• Brian in Jeollanam-do - A visit to the Gwangju Kimchi Festival (광주김치문화축제).
  
• China Hope Live - Joel talks about the dark side of a Tianjin bathhouse (大众浴池).
• Haikugirl's Japan - Haikugirl explains the meaning of the Japanese term soushoku danshi or "grass-eating man"(草食男子).
• Just Hungry - Learn more about the various types of miso (味噌) paste.
  
• Rainbowhill Language Lab - Language tips on how to communicate in Japanese even if you don't know a particular word.
  
• Speaking of China - Jocelyn examines the problems faced by China's countryside bachelors and divorcés.
• The China Beat - Maura reviews Rachel DeWoskin's new book, Repeat After Me.
• The Gaijin Gourmet - Learn how to serve up some yummy soba (そば).

That's all for this week. The weekly blog roundup will be posted on Sundays from now on, so the next blog roundup will be on November 1, 2009.
