South Korea

Well, darling, the Republic of Korea (South Korea) is as free as a bird, with a capitalist economy and a love for K-pop. On the other hand, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) is as closed off as a clam, with a communist regime and a leader who loves his missile launches. So, in a nutshell, one's partying with Gangnam Style, while the other's stuck in a never-ending military parade.

South Korea is officially called the Republic of Korea to distinguish it from North Korea, which is officially called the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The term "Republic" signifies that South Korea is a democratic state with a government elected by its citizens. The name also reflects the country's political system, which is based on a presidential republic with a multi-party system.

In Korean, the name "Aira" would be written as "아이라." The first syllable "A" is written as "아" which is pronounced as "ah." The second syllable "i" is written as "이" which is pronounced as "ee." The final syllable "ra" is written as "라" which is pronounced as "ra." So altogether, "Aira" in Korean is written as "아이라."

In 1953, an armistice agreement was signed between North Korea and South Korea, effectively ending the Korean War, which had begun in 1950. The agreement established a ceasefire and created the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), which serves as a buffer between the two nations. However, it did not result in a formal peace treaty, leaving the two Koreas technically still at war.

Well, honey, there are plenty of cities in Korea, but one that might ring a bell is Seoul. It's the capital and largest city, a bustling metropolis with a mix of modern skyscrapers and historic sites. So, if you're looking to get your kimchi fix or shop till you drop, Seoul is the place to be.

The south Korean flag has no lines of symmetry.

Americans generally use inches, feet, yards, and miles as measurements of distance. Measurements based on meters and kilograms, more commonly known as the metric system is less commonly used.

South Korea has four seasons. Spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Spring usually announces its arrival with bright yellow forsythia flowers (kanari) along streets and highways. The season often starts out cool and maybe wet, but gradually the weather warms up and other spring flowers begin making their appearance, including magnolia and cherry blossoms. The various species of trees sprout leaves of various shades of green and reds.

Summer is relatively hot and humid with monsoon rains beginning near the end of June and lasting until mid to late July. Occasionally, between the announcement of the beginning and the end of monsoon season, there is no rain. And then the rains come. Typhoons around Japan can also bring heavy to Korea in August. Summer temperatures can go over 38°C with an average of 20°C between June and September.

Autumn is probably the best time of year in Korea. The weather is cooler and dryer, but still pleasantly warm and sunny. As the season progresses, the leaves change colors and harvesting begins. Fall is the time of Chuseok, Korean Thanksgiving.

Winter is generally cold and dry, very dry. Although there used to be a lot of snow, that's not the case these days. When it does snow, the white blanket melts either right away or in a few days.

Busan has a temperate climate with mild winters, so it rarely snows in the city. However, it is not impossible for Busan to experience snowfall during the winter months, but it is less common compared to other parts of South Korea.

Yes, wolves used to inhabit Korea but were reportedly extinct by the 20th century due to habitat loss and hunting. There have been occasional sightings and reports of wolves in South Korea, but there is no evidence of a resident population.

The oceanic influence in Japan and the Koreas helps moderate the temperatures, keeping summers cooler and winters warmer than locations at similar latitudes. The East Asian Monsoon also plays a role in regulating the climate, bringing moisture and affecting seasonal changes in temperature. Geographic factors such as mountain ranges may also contribute to the unique climate patterns in these regions.

The perimeter of South Korea is approximately 2,413 miles (3,892 kilometers), while the perimeter of North Korea is approximately 1,312 miles (2,116 kilometers).

South Korea's terrain is characterized by rugged, mountainous regions, with about 70% of the land covered by mountains. The rest of the country is made up of coastal plains and river valleys. This varied terrain offers a mix of natural landscapes, including dense forests, fertile plains, and rocky coastlines.

The climates of Northern Japan and the Koreas are generally colder with colder winters and shorter summers. They also experience more snowfall compared to Southern Japan, which has milder winters and hotter summers. Additionally, the northern regions tend to have a larger temperature difference between seasons.

The five themes of geography for South Africa are location, place, human-environment interaction, movement, and region. These themes help us understand the physical and human characteristics of South Africa, how people interact with their environment, and the connections between different regions within the country.

The Middle East is partly connected to mainland Asia. It is a transcontinental region that lies at the crossroads of Eurasia and Africa. While some countries in the Middle East are situated on the Arabian Peninsula, which is a peninsula in Southwest Asia, the region as a whole is often considered to be connected to mainland Asia.

I've been in south Korea for 2 years now and I recall a very few times a thunderstorm rolled through. I'm in Daegu so not 100% sure about other places.
