I've been to Argentina and Brazil and knew they had a lot of Koreans, and Paraguay heard they had even more (which isn't even listed on wikipedia).
I didn't realize that Guatamala now has 7,000-50,000 Koreans! That is very new.
Didn't realize that Cebu now has 50,000+ Koreans. That is a lot, and that has happened quickly!
Miami is another new one. Two Koreatowns there now? Generally, Florida doesn't even have much of an Asian presence at all. So its hard to imagine Miami would even warrant TWO Koreantowns!?! |

| A general rule of thumb, most Koreatowns in America will be located adjacent, nearby, and/or within the vicinity of any Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. |

Not really, Korean town in Los Angeles yes, but Korean town in Atlanta no, I just came back from Atlanta Korean town and saw only 4-5 black there during 5 days visit. |

No, but couple Jimjilbangs I saw in Atlanta korea town.
Huge oriental supermarket the size of Super Wal-Mart, have section not only Korean, Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese, but also Indonesian, philippinoes food section...etc
Some of korean restaurants only have Korean sign, no english sign.
I've visited Los Angeles korean town too, but I didn't like there, too close to black town, but Atlanta korean town was located in very nice area, beautiful houses/apartments around. |
