Cynthia, I too find Dr. Kim interesting and am also enjoying her incentives and ways of keeping student's attention. I was also happy to know she is one of the teachers at the Korean Cultural Center for the language program. There are Koreans everywhere, the slide of the diaspora showed this.
It was new learning for me to see that older males and brides from vietnam and phillipines are hooking up. Korean women will not mary rural men because it is a lot of work, hence they have to bring in women from other countries that will. Further, upon learning about sex workers, Korean women prefer more upscale clients and have left the american bases to filipino women.
Further, upon discussing famine in North Korea I was able to see how party kids (children of politicians workers) were more nourished than non party kids, yet they all go to the same school I am sure this may cause some resentment that goes unvoiced. Additionally, I learned that children are blond when malnourished.
