TBS TV in Japan (major national television network) today has been able to interview a recent defector/refugee from North Korea who escaped into China after serving time in a terrifying North Korean concentration camp for 'political undesirables'.

You know a country sucks when its residents are escaping INTO China.

I have heard from Western tourists to North Korea that after a week in there in that potemkin village, seeing all of the robotic brainwashing and cult worship of Kim, there actually is a feeling somewhat of 'freedom' and being able to breath again, when crossing back into China by plane or air.

My husband and I always joke that you know it MAY be a good time to flee your homeland when you start seeing the larger than life murals of the leader going up around town...
