Want to Invest in North Korea?
I attended our local city's annual Expo this weekend. Find a factory to make your goods, that sort of thing. I was wandering around the International section, when, to my surprise, there were North Korean booths, staffed by real live North Koreans. Kimmie pin over the left breast and everything. I tried to strike up a conversation, but the first guy didn't speak English. I then asked for a brochure in Japanese, and that got the desired effect. I scanned it in, and you can check it out here.I tried my Japanese with a woman at a different booth. She immediately replied in excellent English. I got a book of importers/exporters from her, but it's merely a directory and not interesting like the other pamphlet was. She had this strange chiffony bouffant dress that make her look pregnant. I went for lunch, and told my friend about her, and he went back and started hitting on her. He got her card, and promised to email her. He sent a totally innocuous email, and got back a reponse from postmaster saying "Can not relay mail.Ask mail manager and try again." So, I suppose there's a whitelist of people that the North Koreans are allowed to communicate with. Anyway, just thought y'all might find this interesting. Posted by: gromky 2006-06-12 |
