Where have all the Koreans gone?

My dear friend Yongsun asked the age-old question: "No Koreans?" when looking at my Swedish class. I have not met any Koreans at SFI. I failed to mention the many gals from Thailand, but until today, those were the only people from Asian countries I have met until today. Today, I met a young Chinese man who came to Sweden from Wisconsin via New York. He came to Wisconsin from China via Virginia, I think. He says it is much colder in the midwest.

My dear friends Lawrence and Rebecca, who have adopted two adorables from Korea, also asked me if there are a lot of Koreans in Sweden. They told me that Sweden is one of the countries with the highest number of Korean adoptees. Here is a shot of the two cuties who call me Unka Tiss. (Actually, only Thomas calls me anything and he has graduated to Unka Kiss. Grace just stares at me.)
