Here is the translation courtesy of NarcoNews, one of the last bastions of true authentic journalism left in the hemisphere.)PRESIDENT ZELAYA's Letter to the Presidents of

Great Blight North #3
I recently asked well-known blogger The Korean from askakorean.net fame for his thoughts on North Korea. At 16 he left Korea with his family to live in California, and he now lives in New York City. Although off the peninsula for quite some time, his views on the DPRK are similar to many of the South Koreans I have interviewed. WAP: What was your earliest memory of North Korea or its people?TK: When I was in the first grade, we learned about the story about this brave boy about our age. (Don't remember if it was in the textbook or if the teacher was free-styling.) The boy lived in a northern part of Gangwon-do near th

November 11th
This Wednesday, while many people back home in Canada will observe a moment of silence to honour the many people who sacrificed their lives in the wars of the past century, the consumers of South Korea will be munching down on little chocolate sticks.
