And how much the country has changed just in the last twenty years. In fact, it seems as if the longer time progresses, the faster things change. My completely subjective and ill-informed impression is that in social terms at least, South Korea has probably changed more in the last five years than in the preceding fifteen years.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, it's about time that someone could write a decent—and very long—history of South Korea, just covering events since the beginning of the Sixth Republic in 1987.<BR/><BR/>Those do sound like some very interesting stories from those two guys, Chris and especially Billy. You're fortunate to have been able to meet such people, who've had such a wealth of experiences (both good and bad).Stefan Ewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05530690016594029847noreply@blogger.com
