Introduction

I've decided to keep going and open a fifth blog.

People in other countries see Korea as a country of conformity. It is but not the way people think. After being in Korea a long time and really learning about Korean culture, I could really understand how conformity affects Koreans lives.

I've met some Koreans who went a different way. If you think about all Koreans some examples come to mind: Buddhist monks and nuns, Catholic nuns, Muslims, Dangun followers (like pagans), farmers, organic farmers, sellers of organic food, vegetarians or vegans, devout Buddhists who aren't monks/nuns, people who homeschool their kids, missionaries, people who don't/won't send their kids to institutes.

You need to understand the "norms" in Korea in order to understand that these people are choosing different paths.
