Chinese journalists visited Kimchi Museum in Seoul on Apr. 4, 2012 and looked around it taking pictures of various kind of Kimchi. They also enjoyed having taste of many kind of kimchi exhibited in the museum. They have come to know the fact that kimchi represents the traditional food culture of Korea. Holding that kind of exhibition was greatly helpful in disseminating the taste of kimchi to foreigners, they said. So many foreigners could be found in the museum and it must have been a good occasion to spread the way of kimchi making to foreign countries, according to Chinese journalists.

Would you be willing to post an article about Sam’s campaign or a blog entry I’ve written about my experiences on the campaign so far? Please email me when you get a chance. Thanks. Sagar
