So every story about what's happening in the DPRK gets filtered through the South Korean press, and then filtered again through the American press. One funny (in a :agony-shivering: way) aspect of these stories is how translation errors compound on each other and produce pretty ridiculous headlines that westerners take uncritically because it's what they've been conditioned to expect - one example I remember being the DPRK government "announcing that they found a unicorn skeleton", which was actually an interesting story about archeology where an ancient Korean leader had the character for "unicorn" in his name.

Uh anyway the two things that I know for sure is that there is a Pyongyang Marathon that attracts lots of runners from around the world, but don't steal anything while you're there because they seem to take that shit pretty seriously.
