I'll explain the 'Good Ol' Boy Network' when next I see you. As for the rest, my 16 years (not 12!) in Korea have shown me a lot, both of the good and the bad. The stress from education and work is only one aspect of life here, but it's one that I've seen firsthand, for several years, as a teacher. The workplace has gotten much better since I've been here, certainly. The education system is still too tough, though. Don't worry. I write about the negatives, but I also write about the positives. I try to be balanced :) Korea's a great place to live, else I wouldn't have chosen to stay here for so long. I understand it's not the USA, but that's my only other point of reference considering that I lived there for the first 20 years of my life, before coming to Korea. Hey, nice of you to drop by!

I agree to your idea partly but not wholly. If you have experienced Korea a lot for 12 years, I hope you can make more constructive ideas. What was the fundamental success resources to develop Korea as it is? We are living in Korea not in USA. It is my personal idea but I hope you to see bright side of Korea as a Korea friend, which is getting better. How about other countires like Philippine which constructed the biggest Korean Gym by using advanced technologies. But now days, Korea is constructing their intelligent buildings, plants etc. I do not insist that Korean education system is good. I always feel sorry about pushing my children to study harder.
