PITTSBURGH — Jung Ho Kang grinned late Friday night as he balanced on a motorized scooter and zipped through pockets of pedestrian traffic in the hallway outside the Pittsburgh Pirates’ clubhouse.
Kang, 27, had been ruminating earlier on how much easier his cultural transition — moving this winter from South Korea to the United States — had been than he had expected. His English was improving, a word or a phrase at a time, and Pittsburgh was proving to be an easy place to live. He had even tried one of the city’s Korean restaurants.
