I meant to leave a comment about this. ...Hey Kyle,<br /><br />I meant to leave a comment about this. You're right about Koreans basically being their own worst enemy (I'm paraphrasing) at times. Sometimes things really frustrated me there. I particularly hate the way they run businesses.<br />There is too much stress on the young to succeed at a young age, there are not enough opportunities for women, and not enough foreign employees at upper-level positions at companies giving new creative ideas.<br />R-Amen to your post, sir. Fight the powers that be, brother.<br /><br />*raises fist and flashes 'V' for victory sign*<br /><br />P.S. Vanessa told me to tell you that she is looking for you.<br />okaythanxbyeAlex Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34913345.post-9909018567875324932011-04-01T01:20:51.535-07:002011-04-01T01:20:51.535-07:00Thank you, Kyle!

What is it with the thought that although you are married it should not be a big deal if you spend most of your time apart?! And then we spend a good deal of time trying to protect our Korean staff because for some reason they are quite expendable. When someone more important needs a job suddenly our staff is let go and the newcomer comes in thinking that they can fill that persons shoes. Really?!<br /><br />Thank you again. I needed it. I needed to know that we are not alone in this silly Korean world :)<br /><br />LHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34913345.post-72326974935184516132011-04-01T01:16:55.664-07:002011-04-01T01:16:55.664-07:00Today was the day that I truly needed to hear this...Today was the day that I truly needed to hear this. I thought I was alone. And I didn't even know about the drunk guys on the subway...yet!!! Today was another day of Kirk why aren't you doing more and the parents are unhappy because he and I are not staying in the dorms (which are separate living quarters from each other) and why don't we work on our weekends off, and....well, you know how it goes. It seems there is a good amount of our time working to protect our Korean workers. Most of the time they seem to be seen as expendable and thus someone of more importance can simply take their job and do it. And then what do you do when, as an American woman, you feel like you have no voice. SO many times, so many times....but, alas, I do not know what that would do to my husbands career and so, I sit. <br />Thank you. I don't feel alone in this silly Korean world :)<br /><br />Lynda HAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34913345.post-84112443582819344072011-03-31T18:54:56.617-07:002011-03-31T18:54:56.617-07:00Wow Son, I sincerely hope you feel better!!
