The Hermit Kingdom

Excellent LA Times piece on life in North Korea, a country that fascinates me precisely because of its closed society, such an anachronism -- and needlessly so. Whenever Korean reunification finally does take place, no doubt there will be absorption problems à la Germany, but like Germany, it will be worth the trouble.

Meanwhile, check out the article. I can't even begin to excerpt it; there's just too much good stuff to choose from.

[Can't recall specifically whom to give the hat tip to, but I'm pretty sure it was someone at The Perfect World, which you also should check out. Go now.]
