Interesting film. I think he’s bullshitting about becoming a black belt in Taekwondo within two years though.

Taught English. I knew people did this at universities in the West, but not in the East. Sent off the letter as a joke.

I think they might be out of buckwheat noodles at the moment. I believe they're facing another famine.
The book Nothing to Envy is an interesting read about the daily lives of North Koreans.
I’ve read that and agree it’s a worthwhile read.
In fact any book by defectors is a worthwhile read as there’s no other way of peering in.
I also enjoyed Dear Leader by Jang Jin-Sung

Despite being given a decent Minsk apartment and job, Lee Harvey Oswald quickly got fed up because there were no bowling alleys and nothing to do but go to trade union dances. And the Soviets apparently didn't really want him, and only accepted him after he nearly killed himself in a Moscow hotel. His experience obviously didnt dissuade him from the cause either.

We got close, years ago. The tour bus preps you for how to behave at the border. Specifically told not to take pictures at certain points. Of course, some of the Americans didn't think this applied to them and took pictures at certain points.
Overall a fascinating experience like none other but that's as far "north" as we got.
More welcoming was North Cyprus some years back.
