     “How can I love a place I have never been to,
Korea?”
Korea! Always in My dreams
by Poet Ron

I am always asked,

“How can I love a place I have never been to,
Korea?”
Crazy, I know!

I like the romantic answer.
I lived and suffered in this place called Korea in a past life.
Or I will be born Korean in a hundred years.

In any case. This place called Korea,
Will always be in my dreams...

(C) 2013 Ronald J Chapman

Where's the story? I've been fortunate to have lived and worked in several different regions in the United States as well as traveled to and observed people (in their homes, not from a guided tour) several places around the world.

In almost every case, my view of that place for I visited and shared life with the people was entirely different, a fantasy created by reading, watching television, the movies, my understanding of geography and political history. So you are right. You have a fantasy about Korea. If you go there to live and work, you'll find an entirely different place. In fact, if you travel to different parts of Korea, you'll find entirely different places there as well.

I'm not saying that your fantasy will be shattered. I'm only saying that you'll be surprised by what you find. People everywhere are very much the same. We all have the same dreams and expectations. Our cultures and cultural rituals hold us back and make us unique. But those walls are being broken down, just like the Beatles brought down Soviet Russia.

I would like to read your story about Korea. I have never been there.

Ron
