A new era of positive changes north of the DMZ?


Pyongyang today is  reporting that North Korea's leader Kim Jong-Il has died of a heart attack. Only time will tell what this really means for the Korean peninsula and the rest of the world.
I’ve never been in North Korea
I’ve visited South Korea
And I heart it.
I think they do a lot of stuff a whole lot better than Russia. For example, transportation, eating out, ordering food to your house, mail delivery, lack of needing a car, internet, cell phone service, farmer's markets, tourist information. And lots of stuff I can't recall now, I'm sure.

Korean war brought sorrow to hundreds of Korean families separated for more than 50 years. When I asked my Korean boss if he knew that people in NK was starving his answer was: “I don’t care about it” .

One can only hope and pray that Kim Jong-Il’s death will spark the beginning of a new era of positive changes north of the DMZ.
