KOREA – I know nothing other than what I have seen on Team America!!!

King John Eel has died? You can’t get into North Korea cause of all the weapons! Why is it north and South? – Its all one place!

These comments and questions came to mind when I decided that I wanted to learn and teach you about North and South Korea.

What I learnt...

In 1948 along the 38^th parallel North and South Korea were divided. An unprecedented attack from the North in 1950 bought about the Korean War – it ceased fire in 1953, however no treaty has been signed.

King John Eel is actually Kim Jong Il! And he passed away last year. His 3^rd Son from his second mistress has taken over the leadership of the North, at only 9 years of age...

See the family tree below

The North Koreans love a Mistress...

South Korea is the 13^th largest economy in the world – quite impressive for a small place. Mainly due to the production and supply of Hyundai cars and Samsung electronics

                        

Major exports for South Korea.

Traditional Korean food is based around Kimchi – a preserved Cabbage dish that is made in bulk and stored underground... YUM!!!

Kimchi

I hope you have enjoyed learning these interesting things as much as I did...
