Inside the ‘Surprisingly Great’ North Korean Hacker Hotel (luxury pad - in China)
The Daily Beast ^ | 12/20/14 | Michael Daly

North Korea is so isolated that rather than bring the Internet to its hackers, it brings them to it—in a swank hotel in China.

The luxury hotel that has been called a command post for North Korean hackers would make for a unique holiday getaway and give you lots to talk about back home.

“Surprisingly Great Hotel - Clean, Tasteful.... and North Korean!” says a trip advisor review for the Chilbosan Hotel in Shenyang, China.

For just $53, you get “a deluxe twin room,” including a North Korean breakfast considerably more substantial than those enjoyed by the vast majority of North Koreans.

“a North Korean breakfast considerably more substantial than those enjoyed by the vast majority of North Koreans.”

That would require about half an egg noodle.

1 fish head.
One half a rice ball.
Stewed tree bark.
Today’s grass tops...

“1 fish head.

That’s reserved only for the North Korean elites who get to vacation in China.

It will be very tempting to KJU to continue to extort concessions from SONY & those associated with this movie. There are surely many more ugly emails left to expose. Perhaps KJU can persuade SONY to produce movies favorable to NK.

Surely, Rogen & Franco are high on his enemies list. Could these 2 find it difficult to find work in the future? Could they find poison in their drink & a bullet?

Maniac tyrants used to killing for fun & profit have no sane motivation to temper their hate.

In all seriousness, being offered the fish head at a Korean banquet means you are the guest of honor. Happened to my wife when she worked for a mainly Korean law firm. She managed to extricate herself from insulting her hosts. But being offered the fish head is a big deal.

Pretty smart of those Norks. With no internet in the country - it is pretty hard to hack them back.

If the Norks were to make an attempt on Franco or Rogen, they would surely wake the sleeping giant. Franz Ferdinand wasn’t loved as much as these guys! Reminds me of the South Park movie where Canada attacks the Baldwin brothers.

That's still better than what we eat in America... apparently
