Hi I'm Niko-Kitten. I'm a twenty something American hapa and native English speaker, that has appreciated foreign languages/culture. media, and international cooking all of my life. Yet there's often something more pressing to do or not enough people in my daily life that have even the slightest interest in these topics. Also, if I'm being totally honest, I've previously been very gunshy to show too much interest in Asian things, because it would lead to complicated explanations since I neither present phenotypically as Asian nor do I really associate myself as such (Ok well I do partly, but not intensely and not to the point where I'd choose to bring it up in conversation. A post on this is in the works).
Now for the tricky bit, this blog is a blog within a blog. This Blogception will be focusing on my passions for:
But Korean language and media blew me away in 2011. The throaty phonetic quality, the polished snark-like poetry of the Korean language, lurking in what might appear bland sentences, and the addictive music, movies, and shows blew me away in 2011. And I've chosen to get over myself and pursue learning the language and exploring Asian culture, media, and cooking seriously as of this Summer 2013. I want to share this bumpy ride with other: curious bystanders,cooks, eaters, hapas, language learners, and kind fluent speakers willing to humor me. I'm a native English speaker, currently studying Korean and Japanese, with a laundry list of other languages impatiently awaiting their turn.

Baguette about it

Too Hungry For Words

Lost In Textlation
miscelanous blurbs and life
Witchcraft
where i gush over or try my paws at wicked crafty things and pursuits
