2nd Selection: Ben's Blog
Have you thought about your freedom and power - blogging in a country where freedom of speech is not only permitted, but embraced? I've read outside blogs written by people about life in China.

Article: Damn the Censors
The individual post to best illustrate this is listed above. However in general I enjoy the writing about China more on Ben's blog I selected for this whole category. My point in including this as a selection here...
Consider the types of blogs you post...
- Where is there room for improvement?
- Spend some time and find your blog voice.
- Not everyone can blog as freely as we can.
- Great ideas for your blogs come from all sources.
- Get out there and read about topics you like outside of real estate.
- You never know what inspriration for your real estate blog could come from your other interests.
