Why is it?

Warning: this post if full of rambling generalizations.

Why is it that there are so many blogs on blogger written in Spanish or Japanese (maybe it's Chinese or Korean, I plead ignorance here)? What is it about blogger that draws them in? I often hit the little "next blog" box at the top of the page and it never fails that the next blog is in a language I can't read (which would be anything except English). Some of them look interesting and I like when they have pictures.

Kristin and I were talking about that the other day because she's found a couple of interesting blogs that way. So far all I find are people writing in foreign languages, political fanatics and teenagers. She must spend a lot more time hitting next than I do.
