North Korea sank to its lowest point in the 1990s as a series of poor harvests caused by bad weather, combined with economic mismanagement, led to a famine that killed an estimated 2 million people.

Was there - in fact - any bad weather? Or is this the same bad weather that always hovers above communist countries?

The older generation loves Americans. They make really good movies also. Oldboy, Brotherhood of War (very pro-American and anti commie), Symathy for Mr. Vengeance, Bittersweet Life (awesome flick).

Time for us to wrap up and leave SK. We've been there 50 years. What's left to do ?

"So far, a total of 15 South Korean companies have set up shop here, shipping manufactured goods ranging from kitchen pots to semiconductor parts to the South, utilizing cheap North Korean labor.

Clothing, footwear and containers for cosmetics are among other products manufactured in the zone, where North Korean workers earn about $57 a month."

This is how it starts. North Korean workers will start wondering why, if their country is such a paradise, they are producing stuff for the South that they can't even GET in the North.
