This hits many of us westerners hard. Where we come from we are used to cities over a million people to be multicutural, aware that various races exist in a single area, aware that immigration helps our countries.

Yet here we are. In Seoul or wherever you are. Seoul is like a town of 100,000 back in the west.

China? Never mind.

Taipei is a bit more int'l than Seoul.

BKK seems pretty int'l... many tourists.
HK too. Singapore perhaps.

Still my general impression is that in Asia the population can be 10 even 100 times as much and still exhibit the same mentality as a village or community back home. Most of Asia, perhaps.

(yes I know there is almost no immigration here...)
