Both countries are diverse in their own ways and have flaws that poke at the glands of a particular cultural trait.

I felt like the odd-ball out, but when I started moving from school after school…

countries lie on the Korean peninsula. The capital of North Korea is Pyongyang. South Korea’s capital is Seoul. “North and South Korea 's Absurdist Armagation” author is Jeff Stein. To paraphrase Stein, our President Clinton talks about how the DMZ is a very dangerous place (Stein 1). . There are soldiers armed and ready to defend if something poses a threat.
