Korean Family

I wanted to remember to tell you about a Korean family I saw in the airport as I was leaving Seoul. Mother and father, about our age, sitting with their two kids. The girl was about 7 or 8, had long hair in ponytails, was tall and thin and wearing jeans that were way too short for her legs, and she was absorbed in a Korean comic book. The little boy, maybe 3 or 4 years old, was jumping around excitedly and running back and forth to the airport windows pointing at the planes and shouting enthusiastically. He was never still for one minute, even when his father sat him on a chair, and he refused all forms of food given to him by his parents. Sound like anyone we know? Weird.
