Balanced

I try to be balanced in my views and so I feel I should write an update here as well. While I felt troubled over the (lack of) professionalism in journalism and the judicial system here I read an article in an expat magazine that helped bring more peace. The beginning isn't so great, a female foreign teacher was sexually assaulted. But the ending, she told her employers who called the police and those responsible have been arrested.

Another article talked about free daycare for mixed children and said 167,000 multicultural families are eligible with an estimated 28,000 kids to be enrolled. Which is nice to see and also more signs of the mixing of this country. Most of the marriage are with single male farmers with mail order brides from Vietnam, China, or North Korea (seriously). The other side of the coin are white males with Asian females but they tend to leave the country and go back to his home country. Which I guess can be said with the farmers; moving to his hometown. Eligabilitiy depends on one person being a citizen here + lower income.
