While we were in Switzerland, we happened to see the headline about South Korea's former President Roh Moo-hyun falling off a cliff, allegedly committing suicide because he couldn't stand the pressure of the corruption allegations against his family.When we got back to Korea, Roh's funeral was held in Seoul attracting large numbers of mourners. Once again, we were overwhelmed by the fact how emotional the Korean people could become, despite their culture of rigorous discipline. Like when Nandaemun Gate burned down more than a year ago, thousands of people were seen crying loudly at the pompous ceremony.
