    Korean diaspora, lived in korea multiple times - just under the legal time limits before the paperwork bureaucratic bullshit that the u.s shovels on you for extended stays outside the u.s every time - my entire life so I’ve seen the transformation of Seoul from an industrialized city with colonial occupation era remnants into an international metropolis, would’ve been a dual citizen but wasn’t for reasons I won’t disclose, etc.

      Very interesting. So what’s that bureaucratic BS you mention? Just stuff like taxes, absentee ballots, passports, that sort of thing? That’s all I’ve ever really heard my own mom complain about.

        Taxes, federal and state social services eligibility, and some financial audit shit when I got old enough to do my own paperwork
