Open up the forbidden place

by jayjoo - last update: Sep 5, 2004

I'm from South Korea, so I'm not allwed to come to North Korea. However, Hyundai recently launched a short-travel program only to "Mountain Kumkang region" which is known as the legendary mountain to us. Right before leaving my country and coming to Toronto, I've been there with my whole family members. Everything there is so "un-aritificial", and pure.

Scary words carved on a Rock

North Koreans might love carving some words on the rock. I think it's good idea to preserve the good sentences, but the bright red color doesn't seem to be friendly. It made me scared pretty much.

 You said the red color was scary. I find that very interesting as I know in China red is fortuitous, celebritory, happy. Could you explain more about this?
