ANOTHER great video. Re: the drinking, I offered my best friend, Kyu Seung, an alcoholic drink when he first came to my residence room at the University of Ottawa in the Summer of 1974 and his dark brown skin turned to reddish brown. Needless to say, I never offered him another. (Ha! Ha!) One of the amazing things of South Korea (apart from having very beautiful women) is that it's the only country to have NOT experienced the 2008 economic contraction (outside of the Russian commonwealth countries). Re: Korean culture "loosening-up", I believe that's due to the strong Japanese influence in Korea. Koreans seem to have A HIGH REGARD for Japanese culture nowadays (though it's "intrinsically", A MORE CONSERVATIVE CULTURE than the Japanese due to its LONG-STANDING Confucian ROOTS. Another difference I find between South Korea and Japan is this: I feel South Korean Gov't officials take themselves way to seriously compared to the Japanese who seemed to have loosened up perhaps due to positive influence of Japanese female politicians who are impressive: I'm thinking of the mayor of Tokyo. However, when looking at THE WHOLE PICUTRE, I'm REALLY SADDENED by the fact that THE SOUTH KOREANS ARE DRAGGING THEIR FEET ON NATIONAL UNITY. THAT should be THE PRIORITY for all Asian countries in the region in order to reduce THE AMERICAN WAR THREAT TO ZERO which the Americans have been actively preparing for - for decades. A war would mean that South Korea, Japan, etc. would all be part of A GREATER CHINA. SO, If the South Koreans and Japanese value their independence they *MUST* MAKE NORTH-SOUTH KOREAN UNITY "THE PRIORITY" in the region in order to get rid of THEIR BIGGEST THREAT OF WAR: the Americans. THANKS AGAIN for the video. 감사합니다 Ken, Toronto, Canada
