I was very moved by the imagery and music (I did shift in my chair!), and thought it was a wonderfully simple, immediate, and powerful way to connect people across cultures. Thank you!

But I'm a <i>big</i> believer in metaphor, and I think your idea could truly shatter preconceptions within a real merger like this. What kind of work do I do? How can I explain it to my mother? Because if I can explain it to her, I can probably make sense to my new colleague in Kango or Busan. Thanks so much for sharing this.
