Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

So I love reading personal blogs. I have been enjoying Substacks and blogs I found but lately I am longing for more diversity. Almost all the blogs I can find are from the West.

Can any of you recommend me any good personal blogs written by South East Asians (especially Malaysians) or other Asians? I seem to find that Malaysians like to blog about three things: Food, politics and money 😂 I prefer not to read those, tho food doesn't hurt I suppose but will get a bit tired after a while

I prefer genuinely personal blogs that are slice of life stuff. If you know of any please recommend to me! 🙏

hmm, directory reminds me of dmoz, which wikipedia says has become curlie.org.

anyway, does anyone still blog or have they all moved to facebook now? (I guess I'm thinking of malaysian blogs on the free blogspot.com and wordpress.com hosts, would probably be different if you had your own domain name, as that may give a little more motivation.)

the last time I checked, a few of the blogs I used to read had become invite-only (perhaps the bloggers grew up and didn't want all their old stuff on public display), and of course the rest of them just aren't updated anymore.

edit: it seems there is a list of malaysian blogs on curlie.org (curlie calls them "personal pages" 🤔). maybe we should get monyet.cc listed here.

Sounds like a good idea!
