This month, I am writing a feature story on the reunification of the two Koreas for our school newspaper, and I would like to ask you a few questions on the matter. Of course, this is totally up to you, and even if you do consent, you could be anonymous if you want. My email is jihoonhan@korea.com and if you are willing to give a short interview, please contact me. I hope to hear from you!: ) Hello, I’m a student at a high school called Korean Minjok Leadership Academy in South Korea.

What's more, it suggests that the Koreas should have been unified by now if anyone really wanted it and that it would have been easier to do so a half-century ago. We cannot expect unification to be signed into law overnight with the stroke of a pen and hope for the best. Besides the North must come in from the cold first and update its vocabulary. Even decades of preparation will not ease the economic and political burden of reuniting the Koreas. Still, I hope for the day when the train runs again from Pusan to Paris. ps: This blog, of course, is not dead. In fact, it may outlive us.

I find discussion of a collaborative reunification not very useful or realistic, but looking at what will need to happen after is actually vital (reconstruction, integration, social issues, etc.).
