They are among the prettiest in the world as a group. And, they are great fun as friends, associates, etc (especially as etc). It takes years to figure out the culture and how it informs relationships between the sexes though and the closer to the original society the more complex. I know too many Korean women who got married for for any number of reasons, with 'love' being way at the end of the list.

Your words ring truer than you know my FRiend.

The neighborhood I live in is adjacent to a Very Large Korean Community.

They are a very friendly people, but as you said, I still don't completely understand their customs and culture.

It's at times like this I wish my Grandfather was still alive, he Fought in the Korean War with the British Commonwealth Forces Korea(BCFK).

Believe me, he learned more in 2 1/2 years than you or I could learn in 20 :\

I have heard that very often Koreans meet prospective mates through being set up by parents or friends or matchmakers. That groups of guys and groups of girls will sit apart from each other in cafe’s and bars while complaining that they can’t meet good people.

That wealth, education and status really are important in choosing a spouse.

So all that stuff just isn’t in the K-drama’s? All that stuff really happens?

wow
