Korea everywhere in Hawai'i

I've met a lot of great Korean people here, Korean Nationals, adoptees, and Korean Americans. Its so odd, when I step outside of the Lincoln Hall where I am staying on campus I am greeted by these beautiful Pagodas. Korean studies is located right next door to where I am staying, and it always throws me off temporarily because I feel like am momentarily back in Korea.
Its kind of an ironic reminder of how Korea has been a huge influence in my life and work.
