See Beautiful North Korea
An American who's lived in South Korea for many years, and speaks Korean, gets an extremely rare chance to visit North Korea. He even managed to bring back some photos, and wrote a travelogue about his experience.
For some reason, the song "Let's Do The Time Warp Again" keeps running through my head as I read this.
All sarcasm aside, it's dynamite reading. Gripping and heartbreaking.
(Via Jerry again, who I will soon have to thrash for holding out on me. That's what I get for not reading his page every single day!)
A genuine pleasure to read. There are lots of photos to download, so a broadband connection helps. I spent an hour looking at this and enjoyed every minute of it.
As interesting for what he didn't see as what he did!

My favorite part was when he told his tour guide that his neighbor had the same kind of car that was showcased in the palace of gifts.
