dc.description.abstractBroadcast Transcript: Though North Korea has allowed more tourists to visit over the years, traditionally it closed its borders to visitors from December through January. Not anymore. The secretest country in the world is now inviting us all to ring in the New Year in Pyongyang. Of course, Of course, in North Korea you won't be celebrating the start of 2014. North Korea follows the Juche calendar. Juche is translated as "self-reliance" and is the political ideology developed by the Dear Leader, Kim Il Sung, in the 1950s which holds that Koreans are the masters of their own destiny , must rely on North Korean resources and must maintain a strong military posture. The Juche calendar begins in the year of the Dear Leader's birth: 1912. That is Juche 1. There is no Juche 0 thus to calculate what Juche year it is, simply subtract 1911 from the current year. So what do you say? Come on. Let's party like it's Juche 103! Which it will be. #NorthKorea #Hacker #CEAS
