Comments on: White Identity http://korea.adoptionblogs.com/weblogs/white-identity Korea adoption news, information and firsthand accounts by those who have been there.

Shortly after our Chinese foreign exchange student arrived, she said something about someone being a "banana"! Yellow on the outside, white on the inside! That really threw me... I had heard the term "oreo" but not "banana". <br /> <br /> We have met a wonderful Korean family across the street and both my Chinese girls are enjoying our time with them. I am becoming good friends with the mom, language issues notwithstanding. They are only here for a year and have only been here less than two months. I love the cross-cultural connection that enriches an already fun relationship... just "normal" friendship. Great post, Mo, as usual.
