During my recent trip to Spain, a girl at our hostel told my friend that she was from North Korea. We were all shocked and incredulous. Turns out she was lying. Anyway, it got me thinking about the "land of no smiles" and some of the interesting things I've read about it.
Two Time photos essays here and here.
A look across the border from The Big Picture Blog.
An arresting little clandestine photo essay from a guy posing as a businessman.
The Wikipedia entries on Kim Jong-il and North Korea are also fascinating.
And of course, one picture that sums up the entire situation.
