There are three schools near our aprtment in Seoul. As we walk the 4-5 blocks to the office each morning we often encounter scores of high school students disembarking from the busses in front of Geonggi Technical School. Occasionally, we are a little late and as we near the office on such days we routinely spot a few "tardy" students taking a short cut that by-passes the "official" school entrance. We always have to chuckle a little as they furtively ascend the wall behind the school. Obviously, kids in Korea are pretty much the same as they are in the States!
