Going to SB again tomorrow. Yeah it should be fun. Mom and Lisa going on a trip together... It should be interesting. It was Lisa's idea. Lisa got major brownie points cause my mom loves going to places and trying out new places and things todo. Unlike my pops, who is stuck in 14th Century Korea. Even food. My mom loves trying new food where as my dad pretty much sticks to Korean food.
I wonder how they stayed married together all these years. They are so different. Their out-look in life, their style, their demeanor... Only thing they have in common is their temper. But how they carry themselves in public... Everything is so different. It amazes me the kind of endurance that many Korean parents and their generation have. For instance my parents.... They are not fans of each other and they will tell that to each other's face. But they are still together....
It really goes to say that we can learn something from people of that generation... We nowadays have no patience and no capabilities of understanding... I am not saying that people should be married when they are abused. But Koreans are changing all over. In Korea, the divorce rate has gone up so tremendously that it is a social chaos.. In America, its almost the norm to have divorced parents. For my parents, it was not their fath in God that has kept them together these years. Cause my dad is not a Christian. But I think its just sheer will power of Koreans of that generation. The kind of sheer will that made Korean corporations what it is today... Julian was telling me the other day about the Computer chips of LG and Samsung.... Aparently these companies were not into computer parts up on till about 15 years ago.. and one day one of the CEOs visited Japan and came back. He said lets start on computer chips... With no experience, Korean companies started making computer chips... Now they are the leading chip makers of the world... I am telling you, that is nothing but mooshik han slave labour... But it worked. I wonder if I have that desire.... That endurance... Not that it's so great. But at the least, it is extremely respectable.
