• A la mayoría de la gente de Seúl no le preocupan las beligerantes declaraciones del Norte: Cuanto más lejos se esté de la península coreana, más preocupada se encontrará la gente por los recientes acontecimientos. Las impresiones aterradoras son importantes para Corea del Norte porque durante las dos últimas décadas su política ha sido, sobre todo, un brillante ejercicio de chantaje diplomático. Y el chantaje suele funcionar mejor cuando quienes lo practican son vistos como irracionales e impredecibles.

• The Florida peninsula is, in fact, an emerging plateau, honeycombed with voids and vents, caves and underground waterways. Travelers on Interstate Highway I-75 have no idea that, beneath them, are cave labyrinths still being mapped by speleologists - 'cavers,' they prefer to be called.

• The compliments you are about to pay could only sadden me, because what you love in our dear peninsula is exactly the object of our hatreds.

• Fifteen hundred years is ample time in which to lose mutual comprehension. Iceland was colonized by the Norwegians at the end of the ninth century AD. Today's Icelanders, with considerable effort, can understand people from the Scandinavian peninsula, but the Scandinavians hardly understand the Icelanders. A thousand years is the minimum time span for a language to change so much that it becomes incomprehensible.

And I'll plan a trip and go on a motorcycle trip down the Baja Peninsula for 900 miles and I'll hang out with my friends for like a month, and then they'll never see me for two months or three months or whatever, and I won't answer any calls.

• A field trip. You interested in doing something dangerous, and possibly illegal?" Does it involve underage girls, broken curfews and soorte4d fruit toppings?" I dropped the empty can into the recycling bin and leaned against the kitchen peninsula, grinning like an idiot. "Two of the three. And I could probably scrounge up some strawberry jam, if you're desperate." "I'm never desperate," Tod said, only his voice hadn't come from my phone.

They didn't like it the first time they saw it and they don't like it any better today. So they are quite happy with the divided Korean peninsula and that's a fundamental difference between the way they see things and the way we see things.
