Aeon flux, North/South Korea.....questions?

Thanks for your post, Peter.

Wow! I would have never have guessed....Did you Dad ever discuss what made the director of the KCIA kill park himself? I read the summaries and I suspect there was something more going on than devout patriotism....You'll be happy to know they shitcanned the ultra patriotic stuff in the public schools....Haven't seen any of in the public school I work at.

I find Korean history really interesting....any other interesting tibits? Hopefully Kim Jong Il will conviently be removed from power and the regime will collaspe....Touring Post collaspe N. Korea would be very interesting experience.

Lastly, one strange question.... Korean perception of art and graffetti....Graffetti done via spray paint is fairly rare here(I've seen some decent tags though)....however wall graffeti using pens and markers are VERY common....I noticed writing on desks was very common and in any place where koreans were stuck next to a white wall eventually ended up covered in random messages and small works of marker art. I once asked my conservative co-teacher about the students writing on the desk and she mentioned that it was allowed!

Any idea why?

Thanks again, very informative post.
