The North Korean Kingdom of Kim Jong-il

Had a look at this site that shows you a number of pictures that someone took whilst in N. Korea...

The first link below is a guide to the photos (they were taken by a Russian businessman)

The second link is to the images (you can click forward and backward on the links below the images)

Let me know what you think....

Oh yeh, just to show you what's possible when you're a 5ft 3inch leader of a nation (and er.. chief censor of the media...)

"North Korean state media have claimed that Kim "enjoys golf, having shot multiple holes-in-one during his first try at the game. He reportedly aced five holes and finished 38 under par on the golf course." They also claimed that Kim has composed six operas."

Do you see a relationship between Plato and the state of North Korea? Or is your name just a coincidence?

Hi Jeremy,

In short, my article has no connection with my name but it is interesting that you should mention this...

The state of isolation in which Kim Jong-il keeps N. Korea has often been compared to Plato's Allegory of the Cave.

Makes some quite interesting reading!
