Well, I guess the North has had enough ramen to tide them over for awhile.

North wants aid, just not those noodles
August 10, 2006 ㅡ North Korea formally asked South Korean civic groups for humanitarian aid for its flood victims ― but it doesn't want instant noodles.
The country said it does want construction materials, construction equipment, blankets and medicine, according to a fax sent from the communist country to a South Korean civic group. The message was the first formal request from the North seeking aid. The North Korean Committee for Implementation of the June 15 Joint Declaration sent the message to its South Korean counterpart yesterday, thanking the civic groups here for helping the North's flood victims. In the message, North Korea specified what they prefer to be included in the aid package. Instant noodles and clothes were singled out as less-wanted items.
The South Korean committee will meet with its North Korean counterpart tomorrow at the Mount Kumgang resort to further discuss assistance. The South Korean committee has launched a fundraising drive for North Korean flood victims. Aid packages by some civic groups have already been sent to the North, and more were on their way yesterday from Incheon.
Unification Minister Lee Jong-seok is scheduled to meet today with Han Wan-sang, South Korea's Red Cross chief, to discuss the government's flood relief program for the North. Floor leaders of the five political parties will also meet today to discuss the aid to the North. |
I didn't think a real Korean would ever get sick of the stuff.  |
