Hard storry to read.
I Was in Okpo and Seoul in 2011 1 month.
It was hard for me as an Norwegian to see all the old peaple collecting bottles of plastic to make a living.

Then i really see how good i actualy have it here.
But the most important thing i learn from my tripp there over, are that human are more valuable than annything else.

I am glad to read that you do it well and are happy now... Wish you all the best, and i gonna follow Your post, since i realy like Korea.
Cheers
