Bruce is probably right. We have a saying at work, "There is no crazy like Korean crazy."
Something about being from such a straight-laced and reserved culture, I guess. When they go nuts, they approach it with the same vigor and initiative that they do mathematics, the violin, and retail management.
Haven't see the Prince in a number of years, he may, in fact have gone back. Or he died and nobody bothered to tell us, which happens a lot. Crazy people don't usually get nice obituaries.
One of my patients did get a nice obituary. Although they'd had nothing to do with him while he was alive, this one guy's family made sure that he got a really nice send-off. The notice in the paper contained the usual list of glowing achievements, although, admittedly, his list was pretty short. I forget if it said he died of a heart attack or a long illness. Both are correct, if you count chronic alcoholism as a long illness.
Anyway, the notice mentioned that he loved "Hiking and camping." This is also absolutely true. He never owned a car and had to walk everywhere, and often slept under the bridge, or snuggled up to a bush in the park.
