The department I worked for thought we needed to learn as much as we could about South Korea. To provide counter-intelligence, we needed to know the enemy to actually be able to fight against the enemy. So we went in and we read and we experienced everything, but when I actually came into South Korea, things were totally different from what I'd read in the publications. So for me too it was very difficult to adapt to this new society, and I had various trials and errors that I had to go through in order to reach where I am right now.
