#MyBaachan 8. To Korea February 24, 2018 Raymond Nakamura, Ph.D. This might look like a demonstration sport in PyeongChang, but it is based on a photo of a rickshaw runner in Korea. As a teenager, my Baachan went to Korea to help her uncle run a taxi business using rickshaws. After winning the war against Russian in 1905, Japan had made Korea a reluctant protectorate. I guess my Baachan's uncle was jumping on this bandwagon, or rickshaw.
