Does anyone know what happened to Conrad and his site, The Gweilo Diaries? It's been disappeared for a couple weeks now. Hope he's ok.

Update: I'm not sure if he and his site were located in China (I'm not sure what Asian country he's in), but China recently had a crackdown that it's possible would have included Conrad's site. I want a list of those 1129 sites so I can find out.

Conrad is/was a Hong Kong resident, so would be unaffected by any Internet crackdown in China.

Geez, I've been wondering the same thing. I've been pondering all kinds of twisted situations Conrad could've gotten himself into. Maybe one of his Asian beauties caught him philandering and cut off his balls?

Looks like he's moved to blogspot, unfortunately all blogspot addresses are blocked in China. This sucks since I live in Shanghai.

Kevin, he didn't move to blogspot, he moved from Blogspot years ago. The current homepage of his old site on Blogspot even points to http://www.gweilodiaries.com/.

He was advertising for someone to run the site for a while since he wanted to take an extended vacation. Just hope he wasn't hanging around a beach in Indonesia. I'm guessing that he did the single-guy thing, and forgot the site was up for renewal. The fucker who is selling it says that it's worth a lot of money since it generates 2000 unique hits a day. That of course would evaporate were it to be taken over by someone other than Conrad.

I wish I had news. I e-mailed him at the Yahoo address on his site a long time ago and haven't heard anything. Anyone know his last name?

Fear not. Conrad is alive. He posted not long ago that he would explain his absence in due course.
