Equally as fascinating: ramyun as a tool of soft power. I am seeing ramyun cafés open here in Manila.

That npr episode was incredible, I felt the revolution was going to happen around 2016 and it’s fascinating to hear the inside story on the ground. Thank you and looking forward to reading your book!
