It was fast. It was intense. It was enlightening.
The gifts and handouts were a nice touch. 
Came away with 4 big ideas that I will incorporate into my class.
1. Kim Il Jong was a egocentric dictator; 5 wives, grand kids going to Tokyo Disney? Nukes for nuclear power?
2. SK Transitioning from Japan to US to Military Dictators to finally Democracy was difficult evolution. Although politically difficult, the theme of a strong unified economy ran throughout. Amazing how many big Korean MNC there are. We didn't get to find out about the FDI strategy too much. I will look into that more. Especially interested to see that our priorities of anti-Soviet over true democracy continues to taint our relationship today.
3. The Korean Wave of culture - I recognized more than I thought I would. thought that it was from Japan originally. :}
