    Forgot to mention, they prefer to be called DPRK, not "North Korea" so if you ever meet one of them (somehow) remember the title. Oh and also I'm about to go on a plane to Montreal for the first Geograbee. Keep up with us on Social media to see how it goes down and who wins!

      It is not a "sad" thing in reality, it is something normal, I also speak Spanish and that difference is what gives richness to our language, for example it would be boring if everyone in Latin America spoke like in Spain, besides that is almost impossible because languages always end up creating new words from the situations their speakers experience

    The division of Korea in many ways is similar to the division of Germany from 1949-1990. For example neither of them referred to each other in terms of their compass direction (they didn't refer to each other as East or West Germany, instead, being either the Federal Republic of Germany, Bundesrepublik Deutschland, or the German Democratic Republic, Deutsche Demokratische Republik)

      They did not agree to DIVIDE it, it's been a technical line to disarm the Japanese army (to the north of it the Soviets did it, and to the south - the Americans). And then things became weird, and both sides will tell you they were right...

    3:35 ~ 3:40 the reason isn’t that simple. If timezones are applyed correctly to each country, 12 o’clock should be the time when the sunlight perpendiculary meets the surface area your country is on. To put it easier, at 12 PM the sun should be directly above your head.
    For political & historical reasons, South Korea(seoul) follows Japan(tokyo)’s timezone. But as you can see on the map, seoul is further west to tokyo. Because of that, the sun doesn’t meet the land perpendiculary at 12 in seoul. It actually does at 12:30PM. So South Korea uses a timezone that is 30 minutes earlier than what is should be. North korea is actually using a ‘correct’ timezone.
    P.S (edit) - north korea now uses the same timezone as south korea

    1:18 Chinese actually prefer to call sea of japan ''sea of japan''. Because east sea is what we call what's on the north of Taiwan and east of Shanghai.

      North koreans can access internet through an app called Naenara, but it can browse only north korean websites and foreign websites have to be changed until they can be added. Only the high ranked have access to unrestricted internet.

    When I studied in China, we went to a field trip and ended up having dinner with some North Korean students. It's was such a weird experience...

      Well, as Colombian, I try to be very friendly so I tried to break the ice with some questions and start a conversation, but they always replied with cold answers like they didn't want to talk (or maybe they were not allowed to?). I know some words in Korean so i tried to make them correct my pronunciation and at that point it seem I finally gain their trust, but then one of them commented that Colombia fought for the South Korean side during the Korean War and well.. that was it :S
