Norimitsu Onishi has filed a little vignette on visiting Kaesong, on tour. Enjoy the reality of it.
“After listening to Mr. Lee’s explanation, the guide said simply, “I can’t believe you remember what happened 60 years ago.””
I would have had a hard time not replying, “I also remember that Kim Jong Il was born in Russia.”
Another propaganda piece about the friendly North Koreans. When will NYT readers start demanding better reporting?
