Time for another one of those “where in the world has this blog been read from” posts

7 Comments

I’m always tickled to death to see where in the world people have been reading my blog from.  Here’s the latest stats. They’re fun to ponder – what do some of them mean? Myanmar has more visits than Japan? I now have a visitor from Albania, and two from Nepal. I’m slowly coloring in the world on the world map, which is very cool. I’m only missing a couple of Balkan countries (Bosnia and Macedonia) and Baltics (Estonia and Latvia I believe) to complete all of Europe. China is the big mystery to me – am I blogging about something that either is of no interest at all to the Chinese, or more likely, am I blogging about something that runs afoul of Chinese web filters? Or most likely, my blog doesn’t translate well into Chinese so nobody reads it there. I’m not surprised by Khazakhstan or Mongolia not having anyone reading my blog – there’s very little internet penetration into those two countries to begin with.

In addition to getting some Chinese readers, I’d really love to have someone in Svalbard read my blog – I think that would be super cool as it’s one of the least well known countries. Svalbard, New Guinea, Greenland, the Falkland islands, and Bolivia and Paraguay. So if you know someone in one of those places, or traveling to them, and who actually would be interested in this, please pass along the blog!
