One thing that stuck out to me on my last trip to Duluth, GA was the strong Korean presence. The number of signs on businesses written in Korean was fairly cool. I am seeing even more on this trip. The businesses include restaurants (obviously), grocery stores, dry cleaners and I believe even professional type businesses. It makes me wonder why so many Koreans decided to settle in GA, but there don't seem to be that many in Ohio. There are quite a few Asians in Ann Arbor, MI, but I attribute a large part of that to the close proximity of the university.

Living in a place like this would help my what seems like endless attempt to learn Hangul aka the Korean language. The class that I take in Ann Arbor helps a lot, but it is only one day a week. I supplement it with flash cards, emailing in Korean and reading textbooks. It would be really cool to have someone with whom to practice. That reminds me. I found some children's books that are bilingual. They are written in both Korean and English. I can't wait. They should be delivered on Monday.
