Stuart Wolfendale

Writers bio:
Stuart Wolfendale is a writer based in Hong Kong where he has been, for some years, the city?s best known English language columnist. In conjunction with that, he has written widely on travel in China and South East Asia. Born in Lancashire in 1951 and educated at The Manchester Grammar School and Cambridge, he began as a journalist in 1984 after a decade as an administrative civil servant in the United Kingdom and Hong Kong governments where he might have continued as a servant but would not have remained civil.

Since then, he has written for a wide spread of Asia based publications and, occasionally, for newspapers and magazines in the United Kingdom and the United States including The Times, the Evening Standard, the Los Angeles Times, Travel and Leisure and Punch although his greatest claim to fame in print is being mentioned in The House of Lords? Hansard.

As a freelancer, Stuart has lived for periods in Bangkok, Phnom Penh, Jakarta and in Los Angeles where he wrote on everything from Asian immigration issues on the West Coast to spas. He continues to wander the Far East as he insists it still is, with occasional forays into Europe. Doggedly unpublished between hard cover, he also continues, with less ease, to write a book on modern Asian monarchy of which there will be none left by the time he is done.
