I've been to Korea a couple of times now, and will go back. In the 1980s there was a huge exportation of Korean babies, to Europe and the US, mainly, and around 200,000 of them. 

In 1986, I was one of these babies, and grew up in Iowa. An estimated 150,000 others like me were similarly scattered around the US. Fifty thousand others also sent away, to Australia and Europe. 

There are now a lot of resources, outreach, and what appears to be awareness in Korea. I gave up jumping through the Holt hoops to find my biological family; but I met many many others who have been successful (none with Holt personally). Many of these adoptees have found their birth families and many have growing relationships with them.

The wifi in Korea now seems to be a part of the air so I would say it isn't the worst trade-off. So you could say I helped create that.

I can only wildly speculate, but I've always been a "take the path less traveled" sort, and when I've been in Korea stuck out like a sore thumb usually as the shortest, brownest, pre-Plastic-Surgeried poor face that I flaunt. It wasn't "home" for me, much like people told me it would be. It's a culture as foreign to me as a ...well, an American who grew up in Iowa. Because that's who I am.
