Korean Family Values

One of the first thing that drew me to South Korea is the family values. Family comes first, the needs of the family are to be met before the needs of the individual. The father is responsible for providing food, clothing and shelter which seems familiar to american customs. One thing that varies is the the father MUST approve of every marriage, that's put a little pressure on making a good first impression. Lastly the eldest son has special duties: first to his parents, then his brothers older to younger, then his sons, then to his wife and lastly to his daughters. So much for being daddy's little girl. Until next week when we will learn some more about south korea together.
