Korea loves Hello Kitty. I really don’t know why. Even worse, I think I myself have fallen victim to this….My friend Sam thinks that a more appropriate title for this blog entry would be “My Obsession with Hello Kitty in Korea.” I took a few more photos than necessary, but I really had to to convince you the extent of the passion for Hello Kitty in Korea.

Kimchi Soup is a blog journal managed by a Korean-American-Jewish adoptee (this is not a joke). Its sole purpose is to document the adventures of the author's return to Korea and to update his family and friends.
The author of this blog journal was adopted form Korea at the age of 6. He was adopted and raised by a Jewish-American family (not a joke). The purpose of his extended return trip to Korea is to learn more about his birth-family history, learn the Korean language, and immerse himself in daily Korean life to fully experience true Korean culture.
