Laat Human Geo Test (Korea)

Today in human geo we took our last test! the test we took was on North and South Korea. The test was adequate, it had all the material we went over in class, we just had to study the information to do well on the test. I enjoyed this course very much. Even though it was challenging at some points it was a great class to take. trough this semester in human geo I learned a lot of information on Greece, political leaders, globalization, message to Garcia, political geography and many more topics that I enjoyed. I am very excited to start a new semester and learn a lot about western civilization.

korea movie

today in human geo we finished up watching the North Korean Documentary. the doctor that was there doing surgery's on thousands of blind people, succeeded. as we watched as the doctor pulled the tape of the eyes. the people automatically wanted to take a look at their "king" kim jong un. they all praise to him. we also see the life of a 25 year old boy who escaped North Korea successfully, he is now in South Korea. he went with a friend but his friend didn't make it due to the electric fencing. His family is now probably in a concentration camp due to what one of their family members had done. they are very strict when it comes to escaping North Korea.
