I wish I knew more about the culture of the two Koreas. The two countries existed as a single nation until about 1945, and for the 35 years prior, Korea was occupied by the Japanese. After Korea's liberation at the end of WW2, the former USSR and the US split the country in half and occupied the land, and each created a government structure in their half of Korea that was friendly to the respective parent-countries. The USSR ended up handing North Korea over to communist-friendly Kim Il Sung, and the south elected Syngman Rhee. And long story short, war eventually broke out between the two Koreas. But again - just 50 years ago, the nations were unified. One people... one culture.

Meanwhile, North Korea's communist leader Kim Jong-il just called president Bush a "half baked man" and a "philistine." haha...
