But lo and behold, Sun Renzhou emerged from a Shanghai-to-Inchon plane and became the eight millionth visitor to South Korea this year. And just in time for all the fireworks: "Welcome to Korea, now go home!"
Ms Sun will receive a round-trip ticket to come back to Korea again, a stay at the Shilla Hotel, and a digital camera to record all her memories.
Frankly, among friends and relatives — non-kyopo and kyopo alike — who have either visited me in Seoul or have gone there after I began my studies in Hawaii, all have had a great time. In Hawaii or California I meet people who have visited Korea and they rave about their trips. There is a lot to do and it's easy to get to, and it can be "more of the same" or a respite from whatever they were seeing or doing in China, Japan, or Hong Kong, if those were also on their itinerary.
I'm a former U.S. Marine and I attended the NYC Veterans day parade recently. There was a significant Korean representation. I took many photo and made a youtube video of them. I'm trying to share them with the Korean vets and the Korean people at large. Maybe you can help me. I have been getting many good responses in the U.S. I think the ROK Marine Assoc will especially like the video.

I would like to point out that the best defense against a North Korean artillery attack on Seoul would be a zillion Chinese tourists.
