I feel nauseated! I have never before in my life read something that gave me a physical reaction like this. I have the physical urge to throw up! I don’t even know where to begin. I’m going to try... Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto, who otherwise looks to be a human, said that the rape of women (comfort woman) was ok...

Have you read this review of the documentary Seeking Asian Female? What are your thoughts? I have a non-Asian male acquaintance who has a definitive "type" of woman - tiny, feisty, hardworking, future-baby/homemaking Filpina; but he's also the uber-geeky American guy who long-distance "dates" women in other countries, making the occasional trip east when funds allow. Seeking Asian Female, by...

Welcome to the newly redesigned Kimchi Mamas site! Please poke around and get re-acquainted, and let us know if there are any dead links or other oddities. So, for the internet equivalent of "Testing Testing 123," here is an animated gif of the cutest Kimchi Baby in the world, Yerin Park of YouTube fame. Hopefully she doesn't react to our...

May is dear to me for several reasons: it is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, and it is also Mental Health Awareness Month! In those veins, I present to you a book released today by the Dari Project, a New York-based all-volunteer consortium that aims to increase awareness and acceptance of LGBTQ people of Korean descent in Korean American communities....

New Kimchi Mamas! Check them out! They are awesome, and I'm very excited to hear more from them. 2. Site redesign...

Here is the third new member of the Kimchi Mama sisterhood, Rikki from Optimistic Slacker! Please welcome her to the fold! Love, your Kimchi Mamas Some nights ago, I had my first ever guided meditation session. I am not religious or deeply spiritual, just a silly girl who's a little lost & looking for direction... maybe even some solace. We...

Episode Two of "Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown," a new show on CNN that promises to "take you to exotic global destinations through Bourdain's unique lens," featured Los Angeles' Koreatown last week: Anthony hung out with two famous Korean American "bad boys": Roy Choi of Kogi foodtruck fame and David Choe, street artist and newly-minted multimillionaire. Roy and David took Anthony...

Did I ever tell you what a wonderful hapa-child I have? When he was three years old his favorite color was purple. He loved purple because it was the color associated with Donatello, his favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. He declared that his first car would be purple. When I said, “Well, you might change your mind about that,” he...

Have you seen the new PSY music video? You might be thinking: What in the world? Mother Father Gentlemen? What the heck is that? Because that’s what I thought the first time through.
