I've Met Kim Jong-il

Apologies for the misleading title but that is all I could think of.

I found this short article written by someone who has met Kim Jong-il twice, quite interesting.

Inside North Korea: The day Kim Jong-il gave me a Rolex

Quote:

As part of North Korea's propaganda machine, Jang Jin-sung spent his career writing eulogies of Kim Jong-il, before growing disillusioned and fleeing to South Korea in 2004. Here he describes life as a member of the North Korean elite.

My first thought of this thread? "Doctor... we need your help over here..."

We know Jim, we know:

Interesting article though I don't quite get what he means by the different types of rations. My best guess is that a week ration means one extra ration per week, 3 day is one extra every 3 days, etc.

And the article's picture look quite revealing, kim in a pimp-pose, lol, looks like anyone else with too much power who gives a crap about his own people. Absolute power = absolute corruption.

So what did you and Kim do on your bro-date?

Football on the tele?
Did he get a tour of the Newcastle avation museum?
