"The one thing you can’t take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me. The last of one’s freedoms is to choose one’s attitude in any given circumstance."
― Viktor E. Frankl

It's odd how much Korea has taught me that is true. I can deal with situations that would have upset me as a newbie in a very calm manner.

There used to be a Logotherapy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logotherapy) clinic in Seoul. It might still exist.[/url]

You can say that about life as an expat in many countries. For example, Thailand seems to be a mecca for both expats and drinkers, but LIVING there poses a bunch of problems.

Korea is character-building, no doubt about it.
