"How to Make the Most of Your Life in Korea... or Anywhere" at The Sonagi Consortium

I'm a little late on this, but newly added Sonagi Consortium blogger itissaid addresses ways to keep a healthy attitude when living in Korea (or any country), along with a tinge of criticism of those who end up being kvetchpats.

"Multiculturalism in Korea" at The Sonagi Consortium

Newly added Sonagi Consortium blogger itissaid has taken a prominent K-blogger to task over his criticisms of Korean society and the media, and what it means (or doesn't mean) as Korea moves toward being a multicultural society. A real barnburner of an inaugural post.

Guest bloggers and part-time bloggers wanted (again)

In a repeat of a November 2009 post, I am interested in getting bloggers or would-be bloggers who would like to post occasionally here at Monster Island or especially at The Sonagi Consortium, my on-going attempt to create a multi-blogger Korea-focused community (as if we're lacking those in any way).

For Monster Island, I'm looking for people who might be able to fill in for me to do the news when I'm traveling, people who want to do a weekly feature, or something along those lines (I'm open to suggestions).

For The Sonagi Consortium, I'm looking for those who would like to use that blog as their own irregular soapbox that might still attract eyeballs. All SoCon posts will have a dedicated post with a go-to link at Monster Island (meaning that they will automatically have links in blogs like The Marmot's Hole that have Monster Island listed in the side bar).

I'm not looking just for people who agree with me and everything I say; in fact, I'd like a little diversity of opinion, but respectful and thoughtful stuff.

I'm hoping that blog-less people like, say, cm or Won Joon Choe (I had listed yuna in last year's post, but she has since gotten Guest Blogger status at The Marmot's Hole), or even inheartblueballs if he doesn't bring the avatar. Even those like sonagi or wangkon936 (or yuna) who already have access to The Marmot's Hole as Guest Bloggers but might have some not-ready-for-primetime stuff they'd like to put up. My regulars who haven't already joined, like LastnameKim, would also be most welcome.

Email me if you're interested.

Guest bloggers and part-time bloggers wanted

I am interested in getting bloggers or would-be bloggers who would like to post occasionally here at Monster Island or at Sonagi Consortium, my earlier attempt to do the same which never really got off the ground (for lack of trying).

I'm looking for people who might be able to fill in for me to do the news when I'm traveling, people who want to do a weekly feature, or those who would like to use Sonagi Consortium as their own irregular soapbox that might still attract eyeballs. All SoCon posts will have a go-to link here.

I'm not looking for people who agree with me and everything I say; in fact, I'd like a little diversity of opinion, but respectful and thoughtful stuff.

I'm hoping that blog-less people like, say, cm or yuna or Won Joon Choe, or even inheartblueballs if he doesn't bring the avatar, even those like sonagi or wangkon/Edward who already have access to The Marmot's Hole as guest bloggers but might have some not-ready-for-primetime stuff they'd like to put up. Regulars here like LastnameKim or Shinbone would also be welcome.
