Where Two Cultures Meet

Kim Hyun-Hee of Four Nature Foods sells a really good Kimchi at the Farmers' Market Winter Mart, along with other foods and health products. You can check out their website at fournature.com. Here she discusses the differences and similarities of Korean culture and American culture:

"Korean culture is more based around Confucius, so we always are thinking about more politeness and how to show it to people. Sometimes we need to think less about ourselves but more about other people, how to make them happy, but Western culture is more individualized and more thinking about one's life."
"What's one thing that's the same?"
"One thing basic to humans is love and sharing and happiness."
