			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In fact, the one that was started back last century (1950) has never ended! It&#8217;s an armistice. A truce; it is not a treaty to end a war. So we have been at war with them for 59 years. Why is Seoul located so close to the border? You have probably heard that Seoul is only 40 miles from the North Korean border. Yep, just a short missile toss from the most militarized border in the world. Why is the South&#8217;s capital so close to the border? Well, we have to look at history for that; Seoul has been the capital for around 500 years. After the Japanese Occupation and Second World War two regimes sprung up on the Korean peninsula. The Communists to the North and a Democratic regime to the South (South&#8217;s regime turned out to be another dictatorship, but that&#8217;s not for today&#8217;s discussion.) So whoever controlled the ancient capital had or at least seemed to have a more legitimate claim to be the government of Korea. So the South Koreans were kind of stuck with keeping the capital here even though the Americans and others suggested they move the capital.</p>
<p>If North Korea collapses there will be millions of refugees crossing the border into China looking for food.  South Korea has huge investments in China and the Chinese are concerned that if The North and South Korea reunify, South Koreans will pull their investments out of China to invest in the North. If South Korea takes over the North, China will have an American ally right on their doorstep. David C. Redman is an actor, writer, publisher and marketer living just outside of the ancient city wall of Seoul, S. Korea and within a missile toss of the North Korean border. He was a lead actor on MBC&#8217;s hit TV show &#8216;Surprise&#8217; where he appeared in over 127 episodes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is a port town located for the south central Hamyong Province of North Korea. This really is really not a traveler town, with fishing and aquaculture as being the primary business. However, Sinpo even now includes a number of attractions that draw in a amount of vacationers year following 12 months. This can be a single from the 3 cities in the province. One other two are Hamhung-si and Tanch&#8217;on-si. The town is house to 158,000 men and women as well as an aquaculture cooperative and also the principal aquaculture office. The location can also be residence to nuclear reactors and defense facilities.</p>
<p>Obtaining inside Sinpo might be considered a tad complicated but when you get in you have far better possibility of roaming additional freely with a North Korean escort. The city, like most North Korean cities is surrounded by spectacular scenery, whether or not you are viewing from the coastal places or seeking down the valley through the mountains. The individuals from the town are also accommodating and hospitable and accommodations, if not offered in Sinpo itself could be found in other cities. Travelers are generally created to remain in unique tourist hotels where challenging currency can be a requirement. Meals and drinks are also accessible in chosen dining places and benefit shops. You can find comfort shops meant for foreign tourists only and chosen eateries provide foods to travelers for tough currency. Even so, while using the meals shortage in Korea, one can not often expect the food to become elaborate. Discounts may possibly be supplied for individuals travelling in groups or individuals travelling throughout the off season.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Usually, rice in the North Korea can be made of millet, rice, naked barley, yellow rice and sorghum rice. Cake is the main food for Korean to celebrate festivals and entertain guests. It is also one of the favorite main foods for local residents. There are about more than 50 types of cakes in accordance with different recipes and ingredients. The way to make glutinous rice cakes is as follows. First, steam glutinous rice; then cut a chunk of glutinous rice into pieces. Dip bean flour, bean noodles, sesame seeds or honey before eating it.</p>
<p>Cakes made of rice vermicelli can also be divided to many types. Puff pastry can be made as the following methods. First, mix rice flour with boiled water; then put fillings into the flour to wrap into different shapes like moon or shell; finally, put these cakes on bamboo steamers that are covered with pine needles and steam them. We can use jujubes, chestnuts, sesame and green beans to make fillings. There is another way to use rice vermicelli make cakes. Sprinkle little water on the rice flour or sticky rice flour; then mix them evenly. Later, put the mixed flour into bamboo steamers and steam them.</p>
<p>Battercakes can also be divided to many types according to their ingredients and recipes. Cold noodles in the North Korea have the distinctive style, too. People in the North Korea have the habit of eating cold noodles on the fourth day of the first month. They think that eating the long cold noodles on this day can help them live to be a hundred. Thus, the cold noodles are also called long-life noodles. There are wheat noodles, buckwheat noodles, starch noodles, corn noodles and so on in the North Korea. In the southern part which is fertile in wheat, people usually eat wheat noodles. However, the favorite noodles for people are buckwheat noodles. Cold noodles in Pyongyang are made of buckwheat, which taste sweet and sour.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>North Korea is found in north Asia and shares a border with the People&#8217;s Republic of China and Republic of Korea. The two Koreas have ended inside of a cease fire during the Korean War within the 50s, therefore technically leaving both countries in the state of war. Even though the armed conflict has been a point of the past, tension inside the two Koreas periodically rise because of border incidents. The two countries have spent considerable efforts in reconciliation and unification inside the past decade. This area however, is less developed than South Korea.</p>
<p>Western visits to This area have recently been allowed and state sponsored tourism has begun. Despite the internal propaganda of North Korea against western nations inside past number of decades the opening of That country to tourism is an evident change in their policy. Tourist visits to That country are special inside of a sense that all visitors need to be followed by a Local peoplen guide constantly. There is markedly little or no interaction with locals in any from the destinations. Despite these oddities North Korea have been a favorite place to go for Chinese and Russian vacationers. Local peoplen vacations are specially well-known inside the Russian market due to the warm temperature in North Korea.</p>
<p>Though the economical disparity inside the two Koreas is extensive, the differences in organic beauty are virtually the similar if not skewed in favor of North Korea. North Korea has maintained nearly all of the historical web sites located in their state. This area is in addition property to exciting mountain vistas as with Mount Kumgang. Particular locations close to the South Korean border like Kaesong have been opened for tourism. Kaseong has even been opened to South Koreans to go to and has become a popular destination.The strongest point of Korean surroundings are that nearly all of its areas have remained untouched given that the Korean War, this has allowed a lot of spots to recuperate and look after their pure beauty undisturbed by industrial or urban expansion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When looking at the news articles coming out of North Korea it is clear that they are concerned with keeping the hopes of independent reunification alive. The tops news stories are entitled, &#8220;New Era of Reunification and Prosperity Will Come in 2008&#8243; and &#8220;More Mass Rallies Held.&#8221; The first article explains that reunification is only possible is both sides are willing to join, this obvious statement does not include the fact that the many people in North Korea have wanted to be reunited to South Korea for a long time and it is the strict and corrupt government of the North that has been making this reunification impossible. One other story spoke out against the Japanese decision to shorten the chain of command for activating their anti missile network. The North Koreans have taken this as a threat and viewed it as Japan flexing their missile muscles.</p>
<p>Compared to news in the United States the articles seem very short and somewhat low on factual information. Furthermore the articles are repetitive when it comes to the issue of independent reunification. One other difference that the Korean news has from American News is that the Korean articles call on the people of the nation to continue struggling for peace, in America it seems there is no need, most of the time, to call on the people of our nation to struggle or for any other reason.</p>
<p>There are political slants in the North Korean news particularly in the article involving Japans decision to streamline their anti missile command chain. Until recently the Japanese defense minister had to get approval from the Japanese Prime Minister before they the Defense Minister could enact the anti missile defense, but now the Defense Minister can activate the anti missile defense by himself. This enables Japan to react faster to a missile attack against their nation. North Korea has taken Japans increased faster possible response as Japan getting ready for a preemptive strike. North Korea has taken a simple change in the line of command and twisted it into an excuse to accuse Japan of preparing for an attack.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This really is a frontier town that lies about the Ryanggang province of North Korea. Hyesan is a transportation and commercial hub, not to mention the administrative hub of Ryanggang Province. One can arrive at Hyesan from other North Korean cities by railway. The town is home to a number of paper, lumber and textile mills, even though business in current years have gone down, resulting to a loss of livelihood for most in the area&#8217;s inhabitants. The town used to become a single from the main hubs of copper production of North Korea. It is also house to a quantity of schools, amongst them the Hyesan Large College and also the Hyesan Girl&#8217;s School. Universities that make their home in Hyesan as well as fascinating places to visit include the Hyesan Medical School along with the Hyesan University of Agriculture and Forestry.

<p>Mount Baekdu is often a mountain that sits around the border between China and North Korea.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Good for the mass&#8221; is the foremost aim of politics; however, I have seen the North Korean government is mistakenly interpreting the aforesaid theory. North Korea is not wrong in aiming for nuclear achievement, but it should separate politics and the mass. Drawing from the above: Good for the mass, good for the mass should be the frontrunner of its nuclear ambition. North Korean nuclear ambition almost always covers the daily news; moreover, its social and economic defects: poverty, starvation, internal displacement are also the heated agenda in the media publications. Which ambition should the North Korean government start?</p>
<p>Again, let&#8217;s not shift away from &#8220;good for the mass.&#8221; To me North Korea should start with the ambition to relentless fight against poverty, starvation, international displacement and all other economic and social defects. Good for the mass first, would make North Korean a genuine patriotic. North Korean can not jump to the 50th step, without undertaking the 1st step; this would bring great harm to itself and the people behind.</p>
<p>Politics is not about revenge or childish revenge; this means that gaining victory over another or other countries are not important than bringing good to your country&#8217;s mass. To me, be a coward in the international stage, but be an interest-provider to my fellow citizens, I would select the latter one. North Korea can not compare itself with the United States of American, France or UK, because at least the mass in these countries are not suffering from social and economic defects like what the North Koreans are experiencing; they have victoriously climbed the first step. But you (North Korea) are too far away.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nonetheless, Sinpo nevertheless features a number of attractions that draw in the amount of vacationers year after 12 months. It is 1 with the 3 metropolitan areas inside province. The other two are Hamhung-si and Tanch&#8217;on-si. The town is home to 158,000 men and women too as an aquaculture cooperative as well as the major aquaculture office. The region can also be residence to nuclear reactors and defense facilities.</p>
<p>Getting inside of Sinpo might be considered a tad challenging but as soon as you get in you&#8217;ve much better possibility of roaming much more freely with a North Korean escort.

<p>Tourists are generally made to remain in unique traveler hotels wherever tough currency is a requirement. Meals and drinks are also obtainable in chosen restaurants and comfort shops.

Discounts may perhaps be presented for individuals travelling in groups or those travelling during the off season.</p>
<p>Justl like in any other Korean town, attention for the customs and traditions, particularly when North Korean guards are all-around, is often a must. Courtesy should be afforded to the authorities, who have a tendency to be extremely touchy. Gestures for example giving the gifts within the form of chocolates, cigarettes, as well as other trinkets is welcomed by most North Koreans, nonetheless.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The government of South Korea takes Korea health care very seriously and they have invested millions into health and the infrastructures involved with the intention of giving its citizens the benefits that a solid healthcare system can provide. While they work hard to assure the citizens they will have adequate health insurance protection they also strive to erase the uncertainty caused by the financial crisis which occurred back in 1997.</p>
<p>Korea health care is a vital consideration and one which is carefully planned out by the South Korean government in hopes of seeing all the citizenry be covered by the best insurance coverage possible. A program called the Medical Aid Program or MAP offers social assistance but covers only about three percent of the population. The newer system offers many more possibilities and opportunities for foreign medical companies in particular to offer their services through medications to the people at much lower cost, again to the benefit of the citizenry of South Korea.</p>
<p>With more competition among foreign medical distributors comes the possibility of lower cost to everyone who requires any form of medication. Korean physicians originally resisted this program as they had gained financially by profiting off of the pharmaceuticals they prescribed to their patients. Korea health care insists on an absolute separation between prescribing and dispensing of medical prescriptions and this is attractive to those companies who deal with pharmaceuticals and are involved with Korea health care.</p>
<p>The government of South Korea realizes that by providing free healthcare and medical aids to its citizenry they build confidence in their ability to keep the country moving forward. Korea health care has seen that the life expectancy in South Korea has increased substantially since the 1950&#8242;s but there remain many health related issues to be corrected. There are many with chronic diseases and one third of the adult population continues to smoke. But progress is being made regarding Korea health care.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bravo to the North Koreans. All the countries oppressed by the western world should congratulate the  president and the entire people of  North Korea for their wonderful effort on the long range missiles test. Should you praise a country that cannot feed its population .In the modern world Bomb appears to be more important than bread. The Life that needs food need to be protected first. Let every nation give up its Arsenal and the world will be at peace, anything short of that, the whole world is heading for a disaster</p>
<p>It’s a cruel world, full of deception and hypocrisy. It was obvious in the last G20 summit.  America and the Russia agreed to reduce their nuclear war heads as if that is enough to balance the power in the world. Let every nation possess it or no nation has it at all. Why? This is because the decision on the world resources depend on how powerful a nation is.. The west takes the chunk while others scramble on the crumbs. According to Kenneth Clark, the former home office Minster in the United kingdom, the west are only familiar with spending and spending more than what they own, while the rest of the world  live within their means and save for the future. This is happening in the same planet. And the reason for this is that some countries hold on to the entire world resources simply because they are more powerful.</p>
<p>Apart from the poor sharing of the world resources there is too much abuse of power going on. Some problems are better resolved diplomatically rather than militarily. America will never attack Iraq if Iraq has a long range missile. Look at India and Pakistan for instance. They look like enemies but war seems not be in their agenda for now because they both posses what it takes to ground each others nation.. It boils down to the same notion, let all the world missiles be got rid off or let every nation posses it. Going by the timing of the launching of the North Korea missiles, the message is clear, while you sit-down at a summit sharing the world resources, some countries are angry and will go ballistic one day when pushed to the wall.</p>
