So do you feel by hitting him back you were being the bigger man then, too?

He doesn't mention if the Ajoshi was hit or not, just dragged out. Lecturing him on how stupid he was is the appropriate response to something like that. I mean the guy could be really stupid or mentally ill or something. Patience is the best resort.

But I will say I have also had younger Korean men come to my defense so to speak against older Korean men.


Yup, I've had that happen for me as well. And the old guy was floored - "How could you take a foreigner's side??"

In the initial quote you see that I don't consider myself a bigger man.

The ajoshi wasn't hit. He also didn't seem to be stupid or mentally ill, just an angry ajoshi. The young guy was out with his wife, and their young baby.

Have you noticed the 'help find this person' notices at places with 치매 (dementia) written on it? There are quite a lot of lost persons who are mentally ill. Sad
