Religion in Korea

I was raised Catholic, went to a Catholic elementary school and was confirmed and all that, but by no means am I a religious person now. I don't really have anything against religion either. Anyway, religion has never been a real issue back home. However, since coming to Korea, I've had more instances where religion came up in conversation than ever. I sort of knew in the back of my head that this would be the case when I came here, but I'm only bringing up this now since I had two run-ins with religion today.

The first one was at school. My co-teacher is Christian. I knew this the first week of the school year since I noticed that she brought a prayer journal with her to work. She asked me too, what my views were when we started working together and I let her know how I feel. Anyway, she asked me today why I looked so tired all the time and I told her I have trouble sleeping, which I really do. She then stopped me to tell me that she thinks it's because I don't go to church. It took me a lot of effort to not laugh, since I know that my sleeping issues are related to poor eating habits, drinking on Tuesdays, and a crippling addiction to the Internet.

The second occasion today was in front of a mini-mart while I was outside with my friends. We were standing outside and approached by Mormons. One was a white guy and the other dude was Korean. I think that I overlook the fact that Mormons are in Korea a lot. I just usually guess that foreigners in Korea are in the military or English teachers. Anyway, Mormons in Korea are just like Mormons in America. There's just less of them.
