Novemeber 11th is an important day in both the U.S. and Korea. In the U.S., of course, it’s Veteran’s Day. In Korea, it’s known as “Pepero Day“, the Korean equivalent of Valentines Day. This year, we celebrated both in style by attending the Marine Ball — a celebration of the 236th birthday of the U.S. Marine Corp. It was our first Marine Ball and it certainly did not disappoint — great food, moving presentations, and even spontaneous line dances…but for me, perhaps the most interesting event of the night was when a couple approached our table, identified themselves as someone whom I recently issued visas to and then promptly asked to have a photo taken with me. Small world.
