Be Right Back is...brb....
NBA on....oh...I talked to a Korean photog...asked them if there were mountains in Korea...."Seventy per cent...."he said...then he became thoughtful...we were watching the clouds in the morning sun swirl about Half Dome and the Valley, "the industrialization...it's....spreading..." I smiled a sad smile..."Like here in America too." he added. "Yes...." I agreed, "like everywhere."

Last week, after five years of division and bloody dissension in the Land of the Morning Calm, what remained of Korean freedom was staggering under the savage attack of a tyranny far more complete than that of the Japanese. Douglas MacArthur had said (and the U.S. people had forgotten): "There is no security on this earth. There is only opportunity."
In the deep valleys of Korea the people had a saying which meant much the same thing: "Over the mountains, still mountains, mountains."

That Time story looks to be about the early outbreak of the Korean War...apparently there is a saying there..."Over mountains, are mountains."
Going up on trails to passes hereabouts one can say..."Over the ridge...another ridge!"

The Kŭmgangsan Tourist Region is thought to be one way for the North Korean government to receive hard currency from abroad. Therefore the official currency of the tour is neither the South Korean won nor the North Korean won, but the US Dollar. Since 2003 food and services to South Korean tourists are provided by North Koreans. The area is developed by Hyundai Asan, who have plans to expand the site with a proper ski resort to complement the current sleigh course, and complete golf courses. Many plans for expansion, however, are in their earliest stages.
That's a Park in North Korea...and looks knockdown gorgeous...and apparently has 'plans' in the works too....

Early European visitors to Korea remarked that the country resembled "a sea in a heavy gale" because of the many successive mountain ranges that crisscross the peninsula.

I..I'm thinking of doing an offshoot blog called "Be Right Back"...this a kinda what it would be like...with maybe interview video clips...and the usual pics and writing....too shy to ask folk for clip interview is roadblock...but it's a natural now with the two 12xs....I can have one on the scenery and one on the interviewee...have to think on this...oh...last night at the movies I sat behind some well healed tourists...they each had ipods...I could sorta see over their shoulders...one looking at photos...another on google...another continually asking her husband how to use hers...and his refrain..."I dont know..." I gotta remember that...but with a wireless hooked up ipod...I...I could do the whole blog post in real time....maybe even the clip...the 12xs might hook in to that little thing....hmmph.
