John, the school director's 9 year old, does his Richard Nixon impression at Kynog Po beach.

When Margaret first met John, she was told that he was 11. She thought he merely was small for his age. In truth, John is 9 by our counting, but Koreans would say that he's 11 years old. As soon as a child is born, he's considered to be one year old; then, at the first lunar year, he's said to be two. You'll find a bit more on Korean birthdays here.
