DanBing
DanBing has lived in one Asian country and traveled in various others, engaging in activities that ranged from teaching English to playing Irish music to researching articles to marrying. The best part was usually the food, though the marriage hasn’t been too bad either.
But of all his many accomplishments he is perhaps proudest of his close–extremely close–association with the person who wrote The Devil’s Food Dictionary: A Pioneering Culinary Reference Work Consisting Entirely of Lies (www.frogchartpress.com).

V Saxena
I am a 27 year old male from Raleigh, North Carolina. My parents hail from India and I was conceived in Brazil, but I grew up in Indiana(US), where my father has been teaching physics at Purdue University for over 15 years. I suffer from a slight degree of Asperger’s syndrome, which essentially means that I’m a ‘wild and crazy type of guy’ with varied interests: hiphop, ol’ school r&b (what you know about Parliament Funkadelic!?), television, video games, weight lifting, and the Michael Baisden Radio Show.
My goal is to gradually improve my writing until I am finally ready to undertake the daunting challenge of writing a book. Until that day, I intend to keep grinding away at various freelance contracting gigs, including ProductWiki (I love gadgets!) and WeirdAsiaNews (I’m a weirdo!).

Mojo
I have been an English Peddler in Japan for the past two years. I ventured to South Korea recently and plan on visiting more of my Asian neighbors. I have always had an appreciation for the lighter side of weird and spend most of my day discussing abstract issues with anyone who is willing to listen.

Super Sied
The “Sied” is pronounced “seed.” Sied is a retired US Marine who has way too much time on his hands. He ponders odd news items and wonders what if just one small detail changed, how would the story change, or what could be expected in follow-on news? During his career he has spent over five years in Japan, Okinawa, Thailand, and Korea.

Mooninite
Born and raised in Taiwan, I’ve always been a fan of my own wacky Chinese culture, observing the mad world through the lens of brutal honesty. As a Chinese-English translator, translating cultures just adds that much fun to verbal pleasure.
I’ve recently worked in the publishing company where young Buddhist nuns were incorporated as free labors and were loyal followers to my boss. The boss is a rich poet who fancies himself an emperor (flags were made and hung to symbolize his “sovereignty” and “regency”). He has met with several head of states and dreams of being nominated for Nobel Prize.

Guanxi
After living and working in China, I now work for one of the largest New Media firms in the world based in my hometown of London. I love Asia and all things about it. I hope to show people the humorous side of the emerging and established markets in this region.

He is nice enough to share and publish articles that he finds weird enough to pass on.
