I Do Envy The Koreans In Terms Of Devolopment.
Thats Why Their Leaders Are Often Rebellious To Other World Leaders Because They Are Almost Self Dependent;
Nuclear Power = Present
Industrialisation= Present
Agriculture= Present
Military Power= Present
Democracy= Absent

I guess u opened this for me right

Those containers I am counting are not more than 10000 (ten thousand), infact they can't be upto that...

How can a ship carry over 20000 containers... I guess it's a lie, they are lying to us....

It can't be true... No ship can even carry 10000 containers...

I have counted those containers and they are not upto to 10k sef

And one country in west Africa is busy celebrating the industrial production of pencil.
