@ gordsellar:
I would be interested in more info about this colony. But, most South Koreans should have the choice without having to change their entire lifestyles. Of course, not having to pay so much and worry so much about your child's future would be a lifestyle change. The effect on the housing market, as all those parents didn't buy apartments for their kids to use as private libraries might be catastrophic.
Really, and I mentioned this in Turnball's blog, Seoul should encourage emigration as a means to encourage remunerations. When Koreans, men and women, northern and southern, travel abroad, it just seems to work out well for all. More experience, more money (although there is the genre of failure stories), more empowerment through understanding. Bad policies are only bad when there are no alternatives. The conservatives can keep all the old stuff, but they shouldn't be able to force all the people to put up with them.

I know a few people with similar opinions, though not quite as lucidly expressed as that. Actually, there's at least one village of people (urban, very educated types) who decided to just drop out of the rat race in Seoul and live in the countryside to get away from all that insanity.
Anyway, I'm going to link this, as I liked it so much.
(I've added you to my sidebar, as well, after forgetting to do so for a while...)
