So my firm is better than the others." [Laughter] I'm not kidding. And he was a perfectly nice man. People just follow the crowd...Their mind just drifts off in a ghastly way.

It's so sad that some people think other people aren't nice just because they're Koreans.

He has to have his special cup of tea, in nice china, not Styrofoam.
