Amanda Takes Off...

Yes, I actually bought these ankle socks last night. I don't normally like ankle socks, but I'm in Korea...

And today I found these socks for 1,000 won a pair.

There's a small set of two islands called Dokdo in Korean, Takeshima in Japanese, and you may know them as Liancourt Rocks. This is disputed land. They're rocky and basically uninhabitable from my understanding, but Korean school kids will tell you they want to live there. Around the islands there's a rich diversity of sea life and that's part of the dispute.

The dispute is A Very Big Deal.

There's another disputed island, Daemado in Korean, Tsushima in Japanese. I hadn't heard of this dispute until I was looking up words from these socks.
