I’ve been casually following goings-on in Egypt, but hadn’t heard that one. Link?

That was a fascinating process. In just 44 years, Germany had become two separate peoples who looked on each other with distrust and even spoke with distinctly different accents. Given the atrocities of North Korea, I'd expect the division will be even more pronounced.

I can only imagine the shock when the first North Koreans cross over and see the standard of living in South Korea. It will be as though they've stepped on a different planet.
