» by in: North Korea

Check out this image via DPRK Studies that shows a North Korean island that looks like the Korean peninsula:

Pretty incredible and this image come courtesy of North Korean Economy Watch who has done an incredible job mapping North Korea on Google Earth.  For anyone that has an interest in North Korea his work on mapping the isolated country is a must see.  You can download his Google Earth file here.

    Interesting, but it looks like a rabbit. Maybe a rabbit right about to go into a big boiling pot of yummy Chinese stew. (Hold the kimuchi and dogmeat please)

    Looking like a rabbit makes sense; that's what the peninsula looks like.

    Interesting that you say that the Korean peninsula looks like rabbit. Yes, that is true. A skinny little rabbot held up by her ears, before she gets boiled in yummy Chinese stew. LOL

    But , often from overseas Koran, the ones that have abandoned and deserted Korea, the same ones who are the most ultra nationalistic, they claim that Korea looks like a dragon or a tiger. A dragon.. lol, they try so hard to be Chinese. LOL

    It is very amusing.

    [...] Well, it’s not an exact miniature, but it looks completely natural, and I can appreciate that if you’ve been staring at maps of Korea all day while making this layer, these kinds of similarities will pop out at you:-) Find it in the “Other Stuff” folder of the KML file.

    It's interesting that whenever I visit a Korea related blog, there always seems to be Chinese trolls such as 'shattered' flooding the site with racial slurs toward Koreans… yet I have not seen one Chinese related blog with Koreans visiting and leaving nasty remarks.

    Could it be that Koreans are too busy actually being out in the world doing stuff rather than sitting in the front of the computer typing trash like a typical Chinese keyboard warrior such as shattered? Hmmm…

    Kim Jong Il is aware that his finish is approaching moreover like every talented dictators is in the process of dynasty building aided by the installation of his son. A son which was not known about until incredibly recently. How this will have an effect on this disturbed part of the world remains to be observed. I am convinced that they will still continue as international outcasts barely supported by China and rogue nations
