North Korea

The whole article is great, but all you need to know about North Korea is contained in the following sentence:

That evening we were taken to the theatre to watch a ballet devoted to the triumphant building of a hydroelectric dam.

Yeah... they might be crazier than the Burmese.

And lest you think that this is overt racism, it is not. I feel incredibly sorry for the poor people who have to live in both North Korea and Burma, because those countries are FUBAR. It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with the kind of crazy that shouldn't be let out.

And the previous comes from a person who actually likes Soviet art and literature.
