Past the Dunkin' Donuts, between the Mercedes and BMW,
And way beyond the endless, tall apartment complexes that fill the horizon,
You can still find an old mud path that runs alongside a shimmering green rice paddy.
Take it to the end, turn right,
And there you may catch a glimpse of the old Korea you once knew.
