North and South:

       I'm not usually a fan of cold, commie block style architecture but in this photo of Wonsan, North Korea there is an interesting effect. Maybe it's just the lighting and the angle that makes it look nice for this photograph but still... I know in a lot of these not-so-free countries the outside world only sees what the powers that be want them to see. There does seem to be a lot of natural beauty in North Korea at least.

       Then there is the other Korea. Now that I just showed a city of North Korea let us then go to South Korea and notice the contrast. This is Busan:
