Of my country, our leader that is there is openly rude by sitting, everyone else is standing for unified Korea.

Its a huge deal and makes us look bad!

I don;t think I have ever been so touched by one of these ceremonies-especially when the Koreans came in and the singing of ARIRANG - maybe because of my dear friends in South Korea.. and I even know a few whose parents escaped from the North.... or whose 'ancestors' are from the North part of the peninsula

I find this in the people I know there as well... patience, very connected to themselves and others.

I have a friend who's son is an aspiring concert violinist. A very good one at that. Whenever 'he' practices or has a performance or is at a competition, she always refers to it as 'we' are practicing, or we did well, or we didn;'t make it this time.

I asked her about this and she said it is the Korean way.
