Subject: 'Fringe' Bus Ride

Posted by: looney_tunes
Date: Feb 23 11

Just as many cities have 'Fringe' events to provide alternatives to the mainstream events of the main festival, this thread offers some alternative ways of touring the country we visit each day. I plan to nominate one alternative quiz each day, usually on the country we are visiting. Sometimes this isn't possible, so I will offer a country on the region or (in a very few cases) just a general World Geography quiz. There are some countries for which many more alternatives exist, and I have just picked one that I enjoyed. Any other suggestions would be more than welcome!

Like yesterday's fringe offering, today's quiz is not on the exact country, but a lot of the food discussed here can be found in Bahrain.

Some of the Fringe quizzes will be gems that are not appropriate for the Bus Ride because they are on too small a region, such as one city, or because they are historical. Others are definitely not that great, but will at least be something different! I have picked what seemed to me to be the best quiz I could find, but of course tastes differ.

Today's offering gives us a look at the Korean War (or Peacekeeping Action), which had a significant impact on the development of South Korea in the second half of the 20th century. (And on North Korea, but it's the southern half of the peninsula that we are visiting today.)
