Let's go to Korea; that is South Korea.
Kelly, I agree with you. When I started to watch the video on tourism I was impressed with how beautiful Korea is and how nice it would be to visit. It seems that Koreans are very nice and hard-working people. When I was growing up in Watts I first came in contact with Koreans. I remember Mr. & Mrs. Kim, or as they were kindly known as mamasan and papasan by the community people. They were so nice with everyone and oftentimes gave breaks to those who couldn't afford to pay for milk or eggs. Yeah, I got a couple of pieces of gum.
I was surprised to learn that Korean women had power back then and that they continue to have it now.
