I recently wrecked my car and had to get it fixed at a body shop, which happened to be run by an Asian husband-wife team. While I was waiting in their lobby, the smell of kimchi was overpowering, so I just assumed they were Koreans. I chatted with the wife, a very nice lady and quite talkative. We somehow turned to the topic of Chinese schools (local groups in Texas that teach kids Chinese in an effort to retain some culture), and she told me that she had sent her kids to Chinese school.
I was a little confused because I just assumed she was Korean. She assured me she was, but she wanted her (Korean) kids to learn Chinese because China is steadily becoming the #1 power in Asia.
And I thought to myself: Wow, what incredible foresight.
