I'm sure everyone is aware of the controversy about the east sea vs sea of Japan but have you ever thought that Korea may be in the wrong continent.

From Map Zones comes a rather egregous error.

"Korea's dynamic charm" for foreigners?

Foreigners Experience Difficulties in Living in Korea
Overall living conditions, including education, housing, medical care, transportation, immigration, and access to the Internet are pointed to as inconveniences. Not only inconveniences caused by different systems and customs in Korea, but also special discriminating practices, such as the practice of submitting two years of monthly rent in advance like a deposit, which is required of foreigners just because they are foreigners, are ubiquitous. "Even though Korea has achieved some degree of globalization in going abroad, it has still a long way to go for globalization in embracing foreigners inward," said foreigners residing in Korea.

An official in the International Cooperation Division of Seoul City admitted, "The same complaints regarding visas, transportation, education, and environment are raised every year without being solved, due to the lack of cooperation from government agencies involved and their passive attitudes."

I guess if he's linking the map from Mapzone it would be updated on this forum as well.

I have the screwed up map on my blog. Link below...
