I am big in Korea now!
Ok, that statement is totally exaggerated. Few weeks ago my Korean friend Hwan helped me to submit my blog to the number 1 search engine in South Korea - NAVER. And since I'm sometimes writing about things related to Korea, I thought it would be good to make my blog more visible to Koreans. So, thank you Hwan for helping me out. It's not easy to do it, not only because of the language barrier, but also because Korean websites always want your real identity and the terms and conditions are very rigid. So it's quite hard for foreigners to sign up to various Korean websites. You need a Korean friend and I'm lucky to have one.The person, who came on my blog (see screencap) was searching for "foreign humour website" and the word 유머 means "humour". I was very amused to be listed among Newyorker.com and Mentalfloss.com, hehe. The rest was only Korean websites. I mean, wth? Search engines are funny :)
저의 웹사이트에 한국 사람들이 찾아올 수 있게 도와주셔서 감사합니다. 그리고 모든 한국 사람들에 대해 언제든지 환영입니다. 하지만 제 블로그에는 유머 이상의 다른 무엇도 많습니다. :-D

I never really thought of your site as a "humour" based one.....but I suppose congratulations and yes, Korean girl fans, are in order.

@The Envoy: Well, I do have some fun stuff, click on 'Fun' on the linkbar, you may find something funny. But recently I have more serious topics, yes.
@Hwan: Well, Hwan, are you serious? My blog is the top 3 foreign humour site in Korea ;-) So you shouldn't complain, ya :-P
@Mel: Yes, I am open to meet new Korean friends, but so far I only have one follower on my blog -)Hope it gets more.
@Andhari: Yea, it's suuuuch a big deal for me :-P No, this was purely for fun, cuz I ran out of serious topics.

Hello from Singapore!
That last part abt being listed w/ the mentalfloss site because the first impression i got was that it was a site for dental floss but turns out it wasn't hahas.
Oh wait, hey! Did I just see a "Learn Chinese" button over there? I'm going to check it out!
I'm sure this is going to be fun!
