We all know North Korea and South Korea but are we really aware how different these two neighboring countries are? Well first and foremost, their official names are respectively Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) and Republic of Korea (South Korea).

78-Year-Old Man Lives Alone In An Island For Almost 30 Years
A 78-year-old man has been living isolation in an island for almost 30 years now and plans to spend the rest of his life alone.
No man is supposed to be an island but this man has made himself an exception to the rule. Now 78 years old, Mauro Morandi has been living extremely isolated at the Budelli Island for almost 30 years now.
Mauro set sail in his catamaran 28 years ago. Already about to fail, Mauro was carried to the above mentioned island where he decided to build a home.
When Mauro landed at the Budelli Island in 1989, he learned that the area caretaker was about to retire.

What's more surprising is he never left his haven ever since.
Mauro Morandi likes the life he lives in Budelli Island although he is the only person at the area for most of the year.
