Põhja-Korea

Põhja-Korea perenaised kogunevad iga nädal, et kritiseerida iseennast ja teineteist:

Once under way, each member, one by one, is supposed to stand up before the audience and reads whatever mandatory ¡°criticism¡± she has written about herself and another member of the organization. The chairwoman should record all that has been said in her log, which must be sent to the upper echelons for review at regular intervals.

Unlike soldiers, students, and workers who live as part of a larger group, housewives tend to be alone at home for long periods, and thus have fewer subjects to critique. Nevertheless, they must attend the weekly evaluation meetings, even if it means fabricating stories. Pointing out the wrongdoings of another member is not optional; it is an absolute must.

According to reports from the North, Kim Jong-Il's health is fading fast and has advanced to the stage where he is unable to concentrate on work for more than one hour at a time and is unable to read documents.
The unveiling of a larger-than-life bronze statue of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il has provoked renewed speculation that "The Dear Leader" may be close to death. link

Isa ja poeg paraadil


Kommunistlik monarhia on üpriski veider ühiskonnavorm, ning tõestab järjekordselt et kommunistlike ideede taga on ikka ja alati isiklik kasu ja massidele aetakse lihtsalt suvalist kämmi.

Kim Jong Nam, the outspoken first son of Kim Jong Il, has made a surprise revelation to a Japanese media outlet in Beijing, saying, ¡°Personally, I am opposed to the third generation succession.¡±

reports and images that are coming out of North Korea suggest that the population is becoming more vocally discontent with the regime and that Kim Jong-Un, the 27-year-old son of present leader Kim Jong-Il, will find it very difficult to maintain the dictatorship after his ailing father's death.

Wikileaksi avaldatud kirjadest tuleb välja, et Hiinal on ka kopp ees PK tsirkusest ja kui mõned hardcore vanad kommarid Pekingis ümber mõtleksid siis oleks koreade ühinemine LK juhimisel isegi ehk mõeldav.

Oleks tahtnud Kimide nägusid näha, kui nad sellest kuulsid :)
Selle kohta ütles endine UK välisminister Malcolm Rifkind hästi - selle (Hiina väsimine DPRK toetamisest ja soojenemine ühendatud Korea suhtes) avalikuks tulek võib seda aastate võrra edasi lükata.

Ära sa maini. Hiinlased käivad mängimas ja PK täielik eliit. Nii 100 inimest. Sellesse ma küll ei usu, et sinna ilma põhjaliku vastuluure kontrollia mängima saaks minna. CIA spioonide tipp oleks seal oma kätt proovimas käinud.

Absoluudselt maailma tasemel hooldatud väljak koos päris muljetavaldava maastikuga. Arvestades, et seal on caddie'd ka, siis ma olen sõnatu. Green'ed on lamedad kui pesulauad ja kuradima suured. See on selleks, et Suur Juht draiveriga põrutade otse griinile tabaks. Punkrite osas on väike reservatsioon - nad on liiga madala äärega, väikesed, kuid väga tüüpiline 90ndatel ehitatutele. Punkriliiv tundub olevat õige fraktsiooniga. Väljak on ehitatud tehisjärve äärde. Täpselt nagu Saaremaal, seal ka enne väljakut polnud veekogusid :-D

Võistluse logo on täiesti spot-on. See tõsiselt innustab esinema selle klubi värvides, isegi unustades teadmise, et kaotuse korral lähevad ka su lähedas kontsentratsioonilaagrisse:-)

The Countless Luxury Mansions Of Kim Jong Il



The Korean crisis and the $74M golf course that nobody plays


Group tries tours to North Korea's isolated golf course

A South Korean tour group is in talks with hermit North Korea to take golfers to one of the world's most exclusive courses where legend has it Dear Leader Kim Jong-il made history by shooting 11 holes-in-one.

"We are not advertising for the trip yet," said an official with Pyeonghwa Air Travel Agency, but the firm has applied with North Korean authorities to conduct the golf tour.

According to estimates in South Korean media, a five-day trip including rounds at the course outside Pyongyang, would run close to $3,000. That is about double what it costs for similar trips to other neighboring countries.

The few golfers who have played the 7,000 meter (7,655 yard), 18-hole course say the greens are well manicured and caddies can take long naps because of the yawning gaps between tee-offs.

$3000 on väga taskukohane hind 5-päevase reisi eest, kui seal sees on viisa, isiklik heakskiit Kim-Jon Illilt, green feed, majutus ja transport. Ma loodan, et salateenistuse tausta kontroll on hinna sees ja selle est lisatasu ei võeta.
Täiesti reaalne, et see saab olema turismimagnet #1 lähiaegadel.

Edgar tabaks seal üheainsa löögiga 18 auku korraga. Ja tuleks elusalt tagasi.
Piisaks, kui Edgar teeks 18 hole-in-one'i. Ei pea ilmtingimata hoobilt kõike lahendama.

Ma tahaks näha 470m par5 HIO-t :-)
