This is Blog Day 2008 and, in celebration of this, I’m featuring five bloggers from other countries (I’m excluding Canada and the US.)

I Started Something – by Long Zheng – this blogger was born in China, then moved to Australia in 1997, where he still resides. He blogs about PC technology, with a focus on Microsoft in particular. When you read his About page and some of his posts you’ll detect a somewhat sarcastic writing style which is pretty amusing. Nicely designed blog.

Delve Into The Mind of a Budding Blogger – by MeghnaK - I’ve come across this young lady from India via StumbleUpon in the past. She says she’s 14 years old and is a very enthusiastic and dedicated writer. I think this young blogger will become a force to reckon with as she continues her work.

Foreign Dispatches – by Abiola Lapite – this blogger is apparently based somewhere in Africa, although he says he spent many years living in the UK. He writes about a variety of topics and is a very good photographer.

D for Disorientation – by Pablo – this blogger writes about current events and politics in Argentina, including the English translation of an article called The Musketeers of Redistribution (Los mosqueteros de la redistribución). Definitely focuses on politics and current events.

The Environmental Blog from the Grumpy Old Man – by Eddie deClercq - well, the title pretty much sums it up. Some interesting thoughts on the environmental movement and discussion of electric cars.

Why not have a look at these blogs? And, for that matter, you can also do tag searches in directories like BlogCatalog, MyBlogLog, and Technorati. Search by country to see information about bloggers from other countries.

Again, Happy Blog Day!
