RE: At the Ground of the Barley, The Village of the Poor in Mockpo City

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

I am very surprised to know that there's still a place like Mokpo City in South Korea, a developed high-income country and 11th largest economy in the world.

It's true. Even in well off advanced nations there are those who have been dealt a terrible hand.

We still have places like that in America, we call one Detroit.

Yeah, it's amazing how many people in America are blind to their neighbors who live like they are in third world countries.

The people in Detroit like it there.

Detroit is improving and more people are rebuilding and improving the city. You shouldn’t be such a hater if you haven’t check out all the new towns like midtown and cork town and Indian village. Just to name a few.

I also have such a place....my toilet.

Except your toilet water is probably cleaner.

When you get out into rural America, you see worse. The native american reservations are some of the worst. But that misery gets spread around all over, honestly. I travel around in a van fulltime and prefer out-of-the-way places. The shit I see ... Sad.

In spite of all the problems that he has experienced and generated with his civil war, it is a country that still has a powerful and stable economy.

We still have places like that in America, its called Flint, Michigan. @funnybobby51
