Um, nobody lives there. Maybe a handful of soldiers passing through.
Was this a trick question? |

Definite no, but I bet it would be a great place to go camping for a couple of days. |

You can take a day ferry from Ulleungdo. I did it last year.
Not much to see really. Two very very tiny, seagull sh*t stained rocks and fortified marine positions with anti-aircraft guns and anti-ship missile batteries and the biggest Korean flag outside of the DMZ. Not sure what exactly all the military hardware was for. Do they really expect Japan to launch a full scale invasion of Dok Do?
The Koreans on my ferry went a little crazy over it all though. A few were kissing the ground and one woman was in tears, hugging a rock.

That was no woman. It was rapier.

My students and I came up with the best solution for the Dok Do problem! There are many Japanese/Korean couples living either in Japan or Korea. Re-settle them all on Dok Do and name it something like Korpan or Japea!  |

Excellent suggestions all. Why not hold a mini-olympics, featuring a list of events including, but not limited to, the following:
Gawi Bowie Bo (sp?)
Pigu
Hangman
Soju drinking games (and, to be fair to Japan, an alternative using Suntory or Sake)
Noraebang/Karaoke
DDR machines
Kartrider
Extra-marital sexathon (for the decathletes)
If a tie-breaker becomes necessary, artistic merit will be awarded for the most breathtaking example of self-harm in the name of national protest.
I'm already doing push-ups in my hwajangsil, Rocky-style, in anticipation of such an event. |

Yes, but I would first teach about Hans Island using this text:
http://www.polspy.ca/items/2004/03/31/360.php.
"Hans Island, is probably more close to being truly Danish than Canadian, for a couple of reasons. It��s right off the tip of Greenland, an island around one million square kilometers larger than Quebec, and owned by Denmark, and it��s called Hans Island, not Gordon Island. On those two counts alone Denmark has a convincing case.
Not that it really matters, Hans Island comprises 3 square kilometers of ice-bound, seal infested rock. It isn��t large enough for more than one or two Tim Horton��s franchises, and drive-thrus are out unless you lower the windows for snowmobiles."

You'd be sure to always have small sized classes. Split shifts wouldn't be a problem. But, I'm not sure about the quality of housing you'd receive and I doubt is has much of a nightlife. |

I would take a job on �︪��, for sure. I've even considered trying to argue with the Dept. of Education for ���ϵ� to make me a job there. But ����? Stuck with a bunch of 21 year old guys during their military service? No thanks! |

Ah... as the Dokdo museum on Ulleungdo is careful to point out, it is inhabited by Korean residents. The population was in single figures and consisted of fisherman and the lighthouse keeper. The military don't count as residents, but having residents is vital to any claim for it being Korean land. As far as the Koreans are concerned, it isn't Japanese because there aren't any Japanese there.
Whatever... |
