The South Korea and 'a perfect summary of Asia: there are a bit 'of rudeness and zozzume Chinese, a little' education and aseptic Japanese, a propensity to alcohol Siberia, a language more 'unpronounceable of Mongolian, good food and iperpiccante typical of Southeast Asia.
add a good number of religions that live together and the fact that it 'a country divided in two for reasons of political-military and get a bundle to be interesting spluciare and study quietly.
's idea to get me to Seoul - Pyongyang hitch fascinated me terribly, but unfortunately access to North Korea and I' was denied ... the ranks of Kim Il Sung in fact not keen to see nobody, so I am had to settle for a tour on the border in the paradoxical DMZ or demilitarized zone, in true American style, full of Yankee soldiers who manage the delicate situation of playing race of looks with the military North Koreans on the other side of the border, trying to avoid diplomatic incidents that could cause World War III.
Full of pride, however, I set foot in North Korea, a large meters from the border, I think. This
'that is said about North Korea and' the poor civilians are not only kept in line with a whisk, constantly bombarded by propaganda, brainwashing that starts from birth and is aimed at deizzazione of 'eternal leader Kim Il-sung and his son Kim Jong-Il. Very often this
pantomime becomes horrible massacres and torture of prisoners and rebels of the population to famine conditions, however, that, at least, something to believe. In the few positive cases rather
the party and 'open, notorious in the Mass Games, huge parades in which the best athletes in the country creating spectacular choreography synchronized in pure socialist. One way to thank their leaders. A pity not to have taken part. I also wanted to tell an ironic Thanks Kim for keeping the world a bit 'on edge with some nuclear Razzett here and there'. He and that 'a real no-global.
Returning from that tour to the border I was wondering what kind of brainwashing instead we live, perhaps a more 'bigger,' color, and apparently more 'free.
Seoul and certainly not 'Tokyo, alas,' but here I was here that day and I pressed the pause button.
Break trip, break from life, for two months.
I put the backpack under his bed and sat at a table, I opened negotiations with dear friends such as Photoshop and all the cheerful suites are returned to the inner circle that I was a bit 'anesthetized, and after having slept a little' I've thrown up in India!
Hehe! Please leave your
East Asia, so that gave me a pearl of China, enjoy:
And just to close a substantial blogged I allow myself a music playlist, to taste with inner calm laffuori while the fog surrounds us (special thanks to David and Asya!):
