It's strange to walk around in the central area of my hometown and see the effects of severe addiction on some of the people staggering around downtown. It's not like it's just a Western problem but it seems to be more pronounced here. At the same time I know of 5 people I used to work with at the language school I was at in Korea, two Koreans and three North Americans, who had serious addictions. These five people used to get drugs mailed to them in Korea.
