Click on this map for the BBC profile of North KoreaI had lost my bookmark for the BBC News headlines in my browser somehow a few months ago. Anyways, I took the initiative today to look for news online after having no exposure to the world for several months. Seriously, It's like I live in my own little North Korea of Elkford and I never bother to ask about the outside world. I am not trashing Elkford right now, but rather my own ignorance of anything outside of my apartment or office.
Anyways, today there is a 10 picture long tour of North Korea on the BBC website. Click this picture to check it out:
North Korea is the most fascinating country in the world to me. It's so unusual to think of what life must be like in the most closed communist country in the world. These people are completely lied to about lots of things in the outside world, as well as what goes on in their own country. I wonder what the average North Korean worker thinks about. What do they think about their own government? Is there a conflict in their minds between what they think might be true, and what they choose that they must believe? Does anyone have any thoughts on North Korea? I've heard lots of different things...many of them quite sad.Oh, if you want to see the official government news website for North Korea, here it is (it's fascinating to see propaganda like this in today's world)(click on the Picture):

North Korea is amazing. I especially like the 'North Americans eat children' one. BTW, you should try facebook, I'm finally conquering my addiction, so I'm ready to deem it safe for anyone over the age of 14.
Yes Brian. And I'm on Facebook...As you now know.
