    I became interested in the gun laws in South Korea so I Googled them. Found lots of hits that basically say that almost all private ownership is prohibited. This URL typical: Strict Gun Control Laws in South Korea - ABC News

    Does anyone have an explanation for the apparent disconnect?

    Just a thought here, but I wonder if that isn't the Philippines and not Korea?

    There is a coconut palm in the background. So it's unlikely to be Korea.

    I don know but found this

    One may not believe it but there are coconut trees in Korea. They come complete with the coconut and in different colors too (orange, green, pink, purple). I first saw those trees in Chuncheon in Gangwon-do. I thought it was because of summer that they use them for decoration. They are not just “eyecandies” but they are used as outdoor lighting. Clever? Tacky? Cute? I snapped two while we were on the road.

    Perhaps they should invest in one or two of these.
