Back Again

Today we finally got to be in Human Geo again after our nice long Christmas break. Mr. Schick is an awesome teacher and he always says our class is the best which is pretty much true. We got started learning about North Korea which is on a peninsula shared with South Korea and these two countries just can't along. North Korea is run by the infamous Kim Jong-Un who took control after his father Kim Jong-Ill died. The government are completely oppressive to their people and isolate them from the rest of the world. On a map of the world at night North Korea being compared to South Korea is just sad. The only light that is visible is from Pyongyang, which is the capital of North Korea while on the other side is South Korea which is absolutely bursting with light especially in Seoul (where John is staying). North Korea is so dark at night that it actually appears as a body of water from a picture up in space. North Korea is just a "rogue" state and South Korea has a booming economy is a rapid growing industrial power. One of the most interesting things we learned is that North Korea and my town in Maryland are on the same line of latitude which is 39 degrees which is just strange for me to think about.
