I'm an American, living in South Korea. I've had a few experiences where the server insisted on cooking our meat for us and no offense to the native folk, but I like my samgyupsal cooked thoroughly. These servers preferred it cooked as little as possible. This leads to me sneaking the meat back onto the grill while my friends plays look-out in case the server comes back!

Korea does seem to manage to build a highrise on every square inch of space, that's true.

But I also like how any where there is a few feet of undeveloped land, people living nearby will instantly create a garden. Makes me happy.

Do your grandparents still live here in South Korea? Have you ever been here?

I am always amazed at how quickly Korea grew after the war; in just a few decades, the expansion, infrastructure and modernization just exploded.

I've lived here for 13 years and I have to say that the Koreans I've come to know are seriously the most amazing and kind people I've ever met. I have nothing but respect for the people and the culture.
