It is interesting to watch these two sides duke it out in not to physical confrontation. The North continually says they are ready to talk on all issues but still they get snubbed by the South.

This means I can’t view any domains registered by North Korea ending with .kp .  That’s ok because for me, I can easily get around it by using browser9.com. (Works for many other uses as well).  If you are curious about some of the happenings in the North, you can check out http://www.naenara.com.kp.  If you are living in South Korea, you have to use a proxy server or a site like browser9.com to be able to view that site.

Something else that is much more common here than back home.  Ordering stuff online.  Unlike us, there are many English Teachers who do not have the luxury of walking to a Lotte Mart or E-Mart (Walmart like stores).  So their only recourse is to order from a site like GMarket.  Now, I warn you first.  The site is reallly annoying.  They all these little images of products that continuously change to show different angles or discount amounts and such, it drives me quite insance.  The upside is that if you are running Internet Explorer or FireFox, you simply hit the Escape Key and the images stop ‘freaking out’.  I hope that get that feature into Chrome soon!  This only stops images from the page you are on.  So if you browse around, you’ll have to hit Esc for each page.  Annoying but welcome to Korea.  Flashing lights and noise are a common thing to grab your attention.
