I was just coming back from reading through the top few entries on Belmont Club and thinking Chirol should go there and just scroll… But I just got hooked on the lights and the dark patches shown above and sat hear staring for a while.
Hey, you think Kaplan can be convinced to take his book tour to Tokyo for the next in the series? I’d start saving now for the trip.

Kushibo added these pithy words on 09 Nov 05 at 2:32 pmI’m surprised there’s really much of ANY light in North Korea, but there are a few minor bright spots other than Pyongyang.
What’s weird is that a lot of the South Korean countryside is also heavily illuminated. Japan, too.

Kushibo added these pithy words on 10 Nov 05 at 12:33 amI had to buy thick curtains to block out all that light in Seoul.
Note how China is also in the dark.
