dc.description.abstractBroadcast Transcript: Greetings from North Korea, Your Vacation Paradise! Huh? It's true: 1500 Western tourists, along with thousands from Asia, visit the last bastion of Communism every year. "Holidays in the Axis of Evil," a BBC Radio series, has reported some of the more surreal sights to be seen in Pyongyang: There's Restaurant Street, filled with food outlets . . . all of them empty. And the International Friendship Museum featuring an exhibit of gifts given to the Eternal--and dead--leader Kim Il Sung and his son, Kim Jong-Il including a warthog from Zimbabwe. With no connection to the outside world, no advertising, and no lights after dark, a sojourn in North Korea lends new meaning to the phrase "getting away from it all." #ceas #korea #tsutsui #hacker
