Cigarettes are good for you but China is banning uncensored health food ads.
Not sure where to eat in downtown Pyongyang? Lisa has the North Korean Zagat guide.
One defector is embarassing, but two Chinese defectors to Australia is the start of a trend. Already the online backlash has begun. The revelations aren't really new: this book on Chinese intelligence said it a decade ago (via billsdue - he also says Meg Whitman is rumoured to be going to China in the summeR).
SPG takes her gear off...I'll do the same unless more readers come to this site! Consider yourself warned.

Behind the Yasukuni Shrine visits.
If you're not sure, get a brain check.

Hi, Simon.
The article on NK restaurants is an insult to the intelligence, common sense and NK starving people (without considering all the inaccuracies and absurdities it presents). A proof that not everything is blogged is worth our time.
Do you remember when European and American intellectuals visited Stalin Gulag and everything they were able to describe was the happiness of sovietic farmers? Now, we have Kim Jong Il restaurants.
I think that when one day we'll look at the eyes of NK people we'll have a lot to explain to them.

Good appetite.
