In Coastal Commentaries Lala writes frequent updates from Cape Canaveral in Florida, USA. It’s a new blog but there’s already plenty to read about life on the East Coast.

One of the things she often points out about life in Cape Canaveral is that nobody seems to be originally from there. This applies to Lala as well - she grew up in the land-locked South.

Otherwise, it’s a relaxing read about life by the sea, with walks along the beach, trips to local restaurants and discovering the Florida State food Conch fritters.

Most local South American blogs are written in Spanish or Portuguese, but the expat writers of Good Airs do a great job of bringing Buenos Aires alive for an English-speaking audience.

The authors Ian Mount and Cintra Scott are both journalists and ideally placed to cover latest developments in the Argentinian capital.

Sadly Olive will not update The Life of Riley any more. The oldest blogger in the world passed away on July 12th aged 108.

Olive took up blogging in February 2007 at the age of 106 with the help of Mike, her helper, and through her blog she became known and loved all over the world.

The blog is an amazing record of the life of this remarkable Australian lady, and also hopefully an inspiration to all of us that you are never too old to start something new.

Cherry is a freelance web editor, information architect, screenplay writer and DJ from Slovenia. So her blog Lust for Life has a bias towards music.

Recent topics included nipping over the border to Italy for a rock concert (the joys of living in Continental Europe!) and the advantages of working from home (see photo) - this may be one thing that doesn’t change from country to country.

Written by a student from Malaysia, tiMes JoUrNaL is a mixture of life and travel. Kyh clearly loves his country and is keen to show its best sites off to anyone who visits this blog through frequent travel posts.

This recent post describes an annual architectural workshop this year hosted by his university. Sounds like they had fun… the architecture exhibitions look quite impressive as well.

More than 3 years ago Eric had the idea of posting one photo every day of his town, Paris. His blog ParisDailyPhoto now contains hundreds of photos taken all over Paris.

There are famous monuments, exhibitions, even a peep inside a Parisian flat. It’s a great way to discover the city, especially as with each photo Eric explains some aspect of the many facets of Parisian life.

This original idea has inspired many other people to create daily photo sites of their towns. The City Daily Photo network now counts more than 680 photo blogs from all over the world. Impressive!

How did we get this far without mentioning any blogs from Canada? Maybe because there are so many good ones to choose from, it was hard to make a decision.

Probably fittingly for such a multi-cultural country, our first Canadian entry is written by a foreigner in Canada. Zhu (aka Juliette - she’s French) lives in Ottowa and has been in Canada for 6 years.

In Correr es mi Destino she writes about immigrating, adapting to life in Canada and her ideas of what defines Canada and Canadians, amongst other stories.

If you need another reason to visit, this week Zhu is running a blogging advice contest on her blog. Go there and see for more details.

Melinda moved to Florence three years ago, and writes about her Italian experiences in Living in Florence. Read it and you will be transported to the streets of this beautiful European city.

She loves exploring Florence and the surrounding region, but also writes about daily life, such as Sunday lunch with her Italian in-laws. Each post contains a sprinkling of Italian words (with translation), so you will pick up some Italian too!

In India Uncut, journalist Amit Varma provides acerbic commentary on a range of current Indian and world topics. He has a knack of picking out the most interesting and sometimes surreal-sounding anecdotes from the Indian and world press.

As well as taking a look at what’s going on inside India, it’s also an opportunity to catch a glimpse of an Indian perspective on the world.
