For those who like me are fascinated by this bizarre state, there is a most interesting website: North Korean Economy Watch.
Reading through some of the articles was a most enlightening experience. For example there was a long article about the state of computing there; apparently the North Koreans are especially expert in computing, which given the sanctions imposed on the régime is remarkable and really rather sad - of course I feel sorry for the individuals whilst deploring the absurd, and as revealed by a subsequent piece about reinsurance, corrupt régime.
There is also a fascinating piece about North Korean art.
Well worth a look, but as a reality check there is also North Korea Uncovered about which I wrote recently.
Until the next time
