China Bots

I noticed an usual hike in my blogger stats the other day.
 Although my content is extremely exciting and engaging, like this post and this post, I was not anticipating much traffic to my little corner of the world wide webosphere.
Here is a screen shot of the traffic to my site:
I havent posted since Feb.
I then took a look at where this traffic might be coming from and take a look...

For whatever reason CHINA loves my little blog as of late! Ill deal with the issue of Brazilians not checking things out later. In the mean time I will choose to not be offended. 
Soooooo why China?
Most likely its some sort of spamming or phishing robot that keeps hitting my site. 
Thats so boring. 
Id like to explore some other options. And since you are still reading wont you explore with me?
Here are a few very probably scenarios as to why China loves me so. 

Government Secrets 
China thinks my site contains government secrets.WHICH IT DOES! Check here and here. 
Just kidding. No government secrets found here... maybe. Or perhaps some things got lost in translation. Which leads me to the next scenario.

I DIM Sum
I have a page called "I DIM!" Which is short for I Did It Myself. Its just a collection of successful different projects I have taken on. Perhaps an English speaking person in China is looking for a recipe on dim sum and my little website comes up in their search. They are probably so disappointed when they see this. 

Celebrity Status
And lastly and I think the most probable, is that my face has been used to market popular products in China and folks are just trying to find out "Who is that girl?".
If you happen to be taking a little stroll in downtown Shanghai, check this out!
I'm VERY marketable

I am not sure how they got my face, name or blog url but they did and I have yet to see a dime. Ah well. It is what it is. Or as they say in China "WaiYuSoTan".
