If you have been watching the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, you probably saw at least one Korean athlete. I noticed while watching one of the speed skating competitions that on the back of one fellow's. . . leotard. . . thing- it read "Korea."
In case you don't know why it does not specify whether it was North or South, here is the straight scoop. There is only one Korea. The Republic of Korea (aka South Korea) does not formally recognize the sovereignty of north Korea. If you were at the airport in Inchon, ROK and saw an abbreviation of the neighbor to the north, it would look like "nK." Little n, big K.
Seoul is beautiful. Osan smells funny. Taking a tour of the Korean DMZ is a fantastic experience. Korea kicks ass and ROK Marines can f- you up.
