That wasn't the subject of the show and I'm wondering just what happened to that story. Anyway, I don't speak enough Korean to follow the show. I did note the prison-like conditions the defectors stayed in for their adjustment period. Does ' ???? ' (Ga-myeong) mean pseudonym? I saw it by the names given in the interviews. So many of the interviewed cried. I accept that South Korea can be a tough place to start from scratch in but is it really so bad compared to the North? Maybe I am a victim of propaganda but I thought South Korea on it's worst day would be an easy pick against North Korea on an average day.

Most of my hits come from here or Google anyway. Hmm, that comment may hold true if you remove the link from your blog to mine too, Marmot. Most of my hits come from here or Google anyway.

Be waiting for that translation, btw, I've read parts and Hamel has found an interesting article. In case any potential commenters missed it, post above by “Hamel” and not Marmot.

All this time you've kept me linked, so I wanted to apologize. I just read your blog by clicking on my bookmark and never realized you weren't in my blogroll, which by the way has shrunk dramatically lately. A lot of people have stopped updating.
