Not many people know what goes on past the DMZ, though speculation has it that Kim Jong-Il, the country’s diminutive and reclusive leader, is a fantastic golfer. This is given credence to the fact that other forms of entertainment, such as arcades, are still stuck in the 70s. As a series of [...] Related posts:
