Great stuff 
The irony is killing me. Despite their best efforts to make life in the US look miserable, it's still ten times better than life in North Korea. |

Dear John:
How's that coffee made from snow, and has your tent roof fallen in yet?
Do your relief supplies from North Korea arrive regularly?
I do hope you're NOT heading for a blue body bag under a park bench near all your friends quite yet;-)
Best,
spiral

Dear spiral78,
"I do hope you're heading for a blue body bag under a park bench near all your friends quite yet;-)"
I do hope that missing "not" wasn't a Freudian slip . Actually, I much prefer green body bags (especially around St. Patrick's Day.)
Regards,
John |

Clearly it's the fact that we make our coffee from snow (it's repeated frequently in the video) that N. Koreans should find most daunting. At least we're not like our poor neighbors to the North who are forced to make beer from icebergs.

You've spent time in NK?
That's great.
I've been looking for someone who can give a first hand account of life there and the social/cultural/political conditions normal in that country.
How long were you there and did you get chance to see much of the local way of life?
Photos would be great.  |

My favorite is when they said the real coffee that was shown was imported from North Korea........
I guess if you keep your people in the dark about EVERYTHING then they aren't able to actually put together any coherant thoughts. How many NK's watched that and thought "wait.......we're importing coffee to America? How come i've never even tasted coffee? Wait......we're importing shelters to America? How come I'm sleeping in a haystack and freezing to death?" |
