The Castle


I live in a castle. Lotte Castle, to be exact.

From what I can tell, Lotte seems to be the South Korean version of Proctor & Gamble, but a P&G that in addition to making every type of cracker, mouthwash, and laundry detergent also owned everything from theme parks, outlet malls, to baseball teams, to. . .well, castles.

Actually, I'm just going to let Wikipedia take this one:

"Lotte Group consists of over 60 business units employing 60,000 people engaged in such diverse industries as candy manufacturing, beverages, hotels, fast food, retail, financial services, heavy chemicals, electronics, IT, construction, publishing, and entertainment. Lotte's major operations are overseen by Shin Kyuk-Ho's family in South Korea and Japan, with additional businesses in ChinaThailandIndonesiaVietnamIndiaUSARussiaPhilippines,Pakistan and Poland (Lotte bought Poland's largest candy company Wedel from Kraft Foods in June 2010). Today, Lotte is the largest candy / chewing gum manufacturer in South Korea."
