RE: [ENGLISH/한국어] I LOVE KOREA (아이 러브 코리아) - FREE UPVOTE!
I have no idea why a Mexican would carry the Mexican flag around in a country they are visiting, however I have noticed that many people will display the Canadian flag when travelling in Europe. This is often done so that the Europeans (who hate the Americans) will believe that the traveler is a Canadian and not from the USA. I read that even the travelers FROM the USA use the Canadian flag in order to fool the locals into not giving them a hard time.
No wonder Canada attracts so many immigrants from all over the world. It really is a great country and people from around the world recognize this fact.
Really? I had no idea! I think I've seen Canadians wearing t-shirts of their flags many times in Europe.
Thanks for the reply @happyme !
Or Americans pretending to be Canadians wearing the Canadian flag. LOL
I'm told that many Koreans like to play video games. What about board games? Is that popular in Korea or are board games too slow?
I've seen some documentaries about North Korea and how difficult it is to escape from N. Korea. For those in N. Korea that don't know anything but where they are, they are happy people (like a bird born in captivity, it doesn't know any better). When people in N.K. learn about the outside world, they want to experience it. Like everything in life, there are good and bad things about every place. It is the people you run into that make the place what it is. There are good people and bad people everywhere.
Your English is perfect! I wish I had that good a command of other languages.
Video games are extremely popular in Korea. For board games, just a couple years ago there used to be places where you can play board games and just hang out. Most of them are gone now and these days some people play board games on computers or cell phones.
North Korea is a closed country. I've seen a YouTube video about Chinese people going to N.Korea and getting a tour. Their technology didn't seem to be so behind as I've thought.
Thanks @happyme !
I'm not really surprised to hear that the technology is not that far behind in N. Korea. I was always under the impression that Greece was kind of a backwards country because getting a telephone land line had a 1-year waiting list! When cellular phones became popular, the Greeks all got cell phones rather than wait a year for a land line. That made them adopt the cell phone even faster than the more advanced countries. Now it seems everyone in Greece has a computer and Internet, just like everywhere else.
In Africa, there are still a few tribes that try to maintain the primitive ways of life, however, the cities are pretty much the same as any other city.
I don't know if you noticed, but I run a board game right here on steemit. If you enjoy board games, why not join in when the next game begins? Actually, Player 6 never made a move yet, so if you wanted to jump in now, you could take player 6.
