Have you heard of the DMZ (Demilitarized zone) in Korea. The 2nd division of the United States army has been helping to enforce a cease fire their between North and South Korea for more than 50 years. It is also called the 38th parallel. Guess why they call it that? Because it is the line running east west parallel to the equator at 38* North. It is also the lattitude designation. Korea's longitude is roughly 128* East at it's center.
