Few of us like Sunday afternoon, for the weekend is over and the workweek looming. But here at Unearthing Asia, we do, as it brings with it a chance for us to look back and recap the week.

The highlight of the week for us here at Unearthing Asia was undoubtedly Tuesday, April 14, 2009. It started with a simple unsuspecting tweet. Whoa! That’s what I call a sweet Easter surprise, thank you very much! We’re thinking of keeping the Blog of the Month badge well towards the end of June, will that be fine I wonder?
