Too many people come to the country assuming it will be like the West. Come on, but if you came to Korea, you came with the notion that things would be different–wasn’t that the goal in traveling thousands of miles to live in another culture?

Other than that, I realize that I will be tested, frustrated and also confused very often. If I can’t handle it, I shouldn’t be here in the first place. Now that I’ve accepted all this, I am one of the happiest people I know in this country. I wish you luck in either having that before coming here or developing it while you are here. The Koreans are wonderful people…it just sometimes takes time to see it. I haven’t met more passionate, more understanding (at times), more loving or more fun people in the world…as a culture as a whole throughout the world. My 2 cents….
