Korea-Introduction
Since 1945, Korea has been
divided into two countries. The north is the Communist-ruled
Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The
capitalist south is known as the Republic of Korea.
Not so long ago, following the devastation of a civil
war and World War II, South Korea was a very poor country.
Korea has since more than recovered, and today the country
has a thriving business community and openly welcomes
tourists. Visitors to Korea will find a mixture of ancient
historical building and modern structures and facilities.
The history of an ancient Eastern culture is well preserved
and readily appreciated by the visitor. The Korean landscape
is, in itself, reason enough to visit this country
South Korea is divided into nine provinces. Seoul is
located within the Kyonggi-do province. Clockwise
from
there, the remaining provinces are: Kangwon-do, Kyongsangbuk-do,
Kyongsangnam-do (Pusan is located within this province),
Cheju-do (the island), Chollanam-do, Chollabuk-do, Ch'ungch'ongnam-do
and Ch'ungch'ongbuk-do.
