軍隊生活で最も記憶に残っている出来事

Living in Korea was a culture shock. The differences were so great between the affluent and the poor in terms of their living conditions, dress, food, etc. On the one hand, the affluent had regular flush toilets while the poor urinated in the streets. In general, as individuals, the people were polite. However, in public, they resorted to pushing and shoving when in line, etc.
