“Basically, in other words, a wedding in Korea is like a divorce in America.”

Norimitsu Onishi. Oh boy. He’s rather notorious in the Japan blogosphere for being, well. . . possibly prone to having his leg pulled. Many of his critics would say he rather liked it.

Tokyo has a rather large Korean community and I’ve noticed that quite a few young couples - both all-Korean couples and mixed-nationality couples - have said avoiding the strictures of Korea is a major reason they settled in Japan.

Actually, I asked an adjuma today about the 100-day waiting period (its almost a handgun). She scoffed at such a thing, saying that it was not common whatsoever. Perhaps someone was pulling Onishi-san’s leg.

Those Vietnamese girls look like a bargain. Plus they don’t speak enough off the language to raise much of a fuss, and their mothers are a few thousand miles away.

Whatever. The same can be said about pretty much any couple that shares two nosy mother-in-laws.
