In Korea, we learn Korean History everyday. That made me think how much thinner our textbook would be if Japan didn't exist at all. Seriously, Japan appears in EVERY DAMN PAGE IN our history textbook. It's fucking annoying and just makes everyone in our class get emotional toward Japan.
Well yeah, China also appears often as Japan but they actually were nice to us. They didn't make us sign a trade treaty with bunch of unfair rules, or attack us at random times and threaten us to pay fines, or colonize us for more than 30 years.
On the other hand, I learned how weak our nation was and how unaware we were to the international trend/ community. I mean, a Hermit Kingdom in the late 19th century? Gah, that was when the whole globe was inventing new machines and when everyone was doing financially great!
I think Korea was just too scared to go outside and meet foreigners.
If that.. makes sense?
lol
