Thought this was a little humorous: Article from the Atlantic Online.

Quote:
After a while he turned to his cabinet staff members and instructed them, "You guys dance with them too." And soon enough I, too, was ordered to dance. However, he cautioned us, "You'll dance, but you won't touch. If you touch, you're thieves."

Somewhere out there on the web floats around a similar article by a chef from Italy who was brought to the DPRK to create the perfect pizza. Wish I could recall the URL.
