Whimsically, I navigated the Internets tonight over the North Korea’s official news agency site.  What a hoot!

Most of the first ten stories were about floral arrangements being sent to the Great Leader Kim Jong Il.  But there was also this:

Pyongyang, February 13 (KCNA) — The election of deputies to the 12th Supreme People’s Assembly is to be held in the DPRK on March 8.
This election system in the DPRK makes it possible for the working people to truly participate in the formation of the state power.

Yeah, right.

Another story had the headline, Kim Jong Il, Greatest Leader of Present Era. An excerpt:

The Korean people have smashed the desperate hostile moves of the U.S.-led imperialist reactionary forces against the DPRK at every step and wrought a historical miracle in the decisive battle for defending the country. This is the greatest victory won by the Songun revolutionary strategy of General Secretary Kim Jong Il.

This got me so interested in my North Korean brothers and sisters that I decided to visit the official North Korean website.  They’ve even got a handy FAQ.  This question and answer was my favorite because it was direct and to the point:

4. Can I work in North Korea as a teacher/interpreter/(other)?

No.
