North Korea : a glimpse of paradise.

North Korea is making a splash again,in the last two weeks test-launching a rocket, declaring it would restart its nuclear program and throwing out U.N.monitors.The world’s most secretive country does not enjoy visitors. The few foreigners allowed in are presented only with propaganda, strictly banned from seeing the realities of the poor,totalitarian state.To peek into the daily life, I sneaked into North Korea via the river border separating China and N Korea. For some minutes, I was able to get afleeting look at the regime, which calls itself a « Social Paradise ».
