Tiger Woods in Korea
From Three Days in Jeju with a Modest Golf King :
Perhaps I've lived in Korea too long, but I don't think being offered a tangerine qualifies as a situation "hard to accept for many Americans."
Koreans all too often resort to the simplest and crudest of stereotypes when trying to understand Westerners.

From Three Days in Jeju with a Modest Golf King :
- "Even when he encountered situations hard to accept for many Americans, he accepted them with ease. When one of the participants offered a tangerine, he didn't coldly refuse, but took one with a polite, 'Thank you.'"

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
