    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)

    @uu4700 2 роки тому +30

    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

    about the food of south korea, (as a south korean myself) yeah you are kinda right about that cheese ramen noodle thing ( we sell it at almost every store, even elementery kids eat it ) but that kind of stuff is what the young people enjoy. older people tend to eat more casualy like north korea does.
    what I want to say that you can enjoy korean food also in south korea as well! ( I get the joke I'm not trying to me that serious haha)

    Never been. But my Grandfather spent some time there in the early 1950s. Landed in Wonsan and took a scenic tour all the way up to the Chosin Reservoir where he met the locals along with 100,000 Chinese that were also visiting the area. I don't think he would've recommended DPRK, but he always spoke highly of South Korea and the people he "worked" with from there! Thanks for another fun episode Barbs!

      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

    Just wanted to say, I really appreciate how objective you are when presenting a country.
    I am Lebanese and I liked the video you did about my home-country.
    I think anybody can see the passion and effort you put into each country you are presenting, and I learned so much thanks to your videos.
    Please continue your work, as it is not common to see such level of professionalism.
    Many thanks.
