Can't speak for Japan, since I've only spent a few weeks over there, but
Korea is awash in US products from toilet paper to coffee to fast food to
automobiles. Of course more people buy Korean products, but I'd have to
guess that at least 10% of the economy here involves US brands and
products
(and that is not counting the US military presence.)

If U.S. auto's are in Korea, it must have heppend in the past 3 years. My
last visit was for a month teaching Hyundai/Kia some new technologies. In a
month, I saw 5 U.S. vehicles.
