Haha I reaaaally appreciate that comment. I'm always an outsider, a Twinkie or Yankee in most peoples' eyes. I think it gives me a broad overhead perspective that helps rationalize why things are rather than chalking it up to "well, that's just the way things are here." It's frightening how easy it is to be swept up in a wave of culture, especially in a smaller nation like Korea, and not doubt day to day activities and dispositions.
