Photographer Shows Differences Between North and South Korea

If North and South Korea ever reunite, the two cultures will need some time to gel together, as their ways of life and culture are very different. Check out these 40 images that show just how different the two countries truly are.

Fun in the Sun

In those hot days of summer, there are few things better than hitting a waterpark with your friends and family. Typically, North Korea is a little more traditional and conservative, while South Korea looks very Western in the way they suit up for the park.

Skyline

There are a lot of differences between North and South Korea, even when you look at the skyline of both the countryโ€™s capitals. The top is from Pyongyang, and though there is a tall skyscraper-like building, they are nowhere near as modern as the city of Seoul. On top of that, you can see the pollution very clearly in the North Korean capital, which is odd, as there are fewer cars!

Airlines/Airport

There is only one airline in North Korea, and it is rated as one of the worst airlines in the world. On the flip side, South Korea has a multitude of carriers, plus those of other countries, as well. Another difference is that there are very few flights into North Korea, whereas South Korea has a wide range of flight options. This is because of its place in the world economy and its efforts to improve tourism.
