Naoko's Here and There-Did Not Quite Know of My Korean Origin

Neither Here nor There

Naoko grew up in Japan to Korean parents but it was a little later in her teens that she learnt about her Korean origin; there were little things which made a lot of sense much later...kind of a aha moment. She had her eyes out West, in the world of Michael Jackson and out West she came early as a teenager and then later as a young adult. Naoko shares what it was like growing up in Japan and her move to New York first and Chicago when she returned. Deciding to move to Sri Lanka for a few years was another experience like no other that has left quite the impression on her. She shares with me these experiences and the apparent differences in life between Japan, the US, and Sri Lanka.
