From the little farming town I'm in near the southernmost coast there was a train straight from here to North Korea through the DMZ last spring. It cost 35,000 won each way (I assume no one bought a one way ticket!).
So what's new? The fact that it goes to Pyeongyang instead of the mountain would indeed be new! |

| Someday going to Pyongyang might be as easy as taking a train down from Seoul to Pyongtaek. |

So, why get so excited. If the two Koreas really wanted to get back together, they could find some way, but the reality of it all, is that SKorea ain't going to pay for it. When push comes to shove, they will just look the other way, just like when human right's abuses are mentioned.
Rather pathetic.... |
How so?
1. Do you think that NK will just re-unite wirh SK? Can you imagine KJI giving up power? There will not be German style re-unification. It will take a war or a total collapse of the North. In any case, it will be messy.
2. it will also be VERY expensive. Much more so than in the case of Germany where the East is still a hell hole with a crappy economy. |

It will be unbelievably expensive. Somewhere in the trillions of dollars. South Koreans will have to bite the bullet as taxes will be going up big time. Contrary to what the government says, there isn't an overwhelming interest in reunification. Their current lifestyle would take a big hit.
I agree with Jinju here. North Korea is playing South Korea big time again. |

1. The thing is SK has ZERO responsibility to NK anyway. I doubt there ever will be reunification and I hope there isn't, to be quite frank. NK is in the mess it is now because of itself. Sk has no responsibility to anyone but SK.
2. They always do. Ofcourse its made easy by the fact that idiots have been running this country for the last decade. DJ and Roh, two of the biggest dolts to ever run a country. Its time finish this charade, vote in a conservative president and stop bending over. |

Did I just witness a miracle? Guri Guy and Jinju agree on something???? Did hell freeze over???
BTW, I also agree with both of them. I hope the whole world would refuse to give or trade anything with NK and watch it collapse. Then SK can absorb it.

I have a lot of nice things to say about Koreans, but I don't think they have the stones/stuff/whatever to just carpet-bag the entire north like the way Southerners say the North US did after the Civil War. It's too bad, because it would mark a great period of investment for a lot of undeveloped North Korean territory. But I just don't see it happening. |
