I come to conclusion that Koreans are very much like your average Arabs. It feels like my father's home every day here in Korea.

There are too many things to list right now, except for drinking, industrialization, and the headscarves.

Driving habits, way of talking, how they talk among friends, etc, etc, etc. It seems that I'm in Oman at this point. It's good since my half-Korean son wouldn't be shocked if he would ever live in the Middle East.

Yeah, the second class treatment of women and the superiority they feel to people from other countries is probably similar, maybe even the wife beatings...
