Depressing read from an American who has had a couple of visits to the NoKo.

Whoa! Under the Reunification tab, it says that any South Koreans that try to visit the north by crossing the big concrete wall will be killed by American soldiers.

South Koreans that talk or read about the north will be punished with jail or even the death penalty.

I see that in the Shop you can buy an autographed photo of Kim Il Jong or whatever his name is. That'd make a nice Christmas gift for my Bishop, don't you think?

Dandong, China, the weird city where you can see North Korea. Good read on Slate.

Perhaps what is most striking is how little Korean you hear spoken in Dandong. Go to Tijuana or San Diego, and you'll find a mélange of Spanish and Anglo culture. In Strasbourg, you encounter both French and German. But here in Dandong, less than a mile from North Korea, the absence of Korean is marked.

Borders are artificial things, yet they have profound consequences. Here, within sight of North Korea, there is no sign of Korean people—aside from the ethnic Koreans who are culturally Chinese. Korean restaurants are filled with Chinese diners, and when I speak Korean to the proprietors, they mumble a bit before switching to Chinese. Stores that sell explicitly Korean items, like hanbok—traditional Korean wedding attire—are run by Chinese people, and the customers are Chinese as well.

This cuts both ways. I spoke with dozens of Dandong locals—restaurateurs, shopkeepers, taxi drivers, college students, all of whom were born here. They've lived their whole lives within a mile or two of North Korea, close enough to see people walking on the other side of the river. Yet not one of them has ever crossed the Yalu. The old cliché, "so close, yet so far," seems apt here.

The event will be held on a golf course where Kim supposedly recorded 11 hole-in-ones for a 18-hole score of 38, according to Dandong CTS.

Simply amazing!

Our President could kick his commie pinko meglamaniacal butt. And so could his daughter.

That is a sweet looking dirt field course. Must be designed by Fazio or Nicklaus.

For real Barack Asics? I thought you were a ball player? Were they sold out of British Knights?

I was not going to vote in the next election, I may be forced to vote republican now.

Jealousy is unbecoming, so I'll just say that I'm envious that you're on his mailing list.
