Sheep#1 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 At least they make for some interesting new stories. Must be a mental place to visit, like stepping back in time 30 years. Link to comment

tightbreeks Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 here's the webber http://www.korea-dpr.com/ lifted from there...i like the bit about no promotion ever. Lowest labour cost in Asia. Highly qualified, loyal and motivated personnel. Education, housing and health service is provided free to all citizens. As opposed to other Asian countries, worker's will not abandon their positions for higher salaries once they are trained. Lowest taxes scheme in Asia. Especially for high-tech factories. Typical tax exemption for the first two years. No middle agents. All business made directly with the government, state-owned companies. Stable. A government with solid security and very stable political system, without corruption. Full diplomatic relations with most EU members and rest of countries. New market. Many areas of business and exclusive distribution of products (sole-distribution). Transparant legal work. Legal procedures, intellectual rights, patents and warranties for investors settled.

BrianFaePerth Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Recently read a book by a Swiss boy who spent 9 years living there and doing business. It gave a fascinating insight in to the people, and suggested that the government are a lot smarter than the warmongering image they portray. Link to comment
BrianFaePerth Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 What was it called? The book? Canna remember. Its on Amazon, by Felix Abt (?). Goes in to a bit too much detail about business models and the like, but interesting nonetheless Link to comment

BrianFaePerth Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Found it. A Capitalist in North Korea. Cheers. Nae bother. Eh have read most everything there is on NK. Some of the escape stories from the gulags are mental. This book was a bit different, not the least critical of the regime, not surprising tho given he still does business there. Link to comment
chaos_defrost Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Isn't there a widespread shortage of food in NK? Yet the government are trying to develop nuclear weapons. Or is that all propoganda?? Link to comment
BrianFaePerth Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Isn't there a widespread shortage of food in NK? Yet the government are trying to develop nuclear weapons. Or is that all propoganda?? According to the Swiss guy, food was/is readily available in Pyongyang, and to a lesser extent in the country. Even out in the country people were thin but not emaciated. He reckoned the regime had quietly learnt from places like Vietnam where a change in farming policy created better yields. An argument made by many to justify the army etc is that the Korean (both North and South) mentality is that Koreans are the supreme race and everything must be done to preserve that. They also have an absolute respect for authority, allowing fowk like Kim Il Sung to take over and do as he pleased. Link to comment

RUL Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Isn't there a widespread shortage of food in NK? Yet the government are trying to develop nuclear weapons. Or is that all propoganda?? Whilst the consequences would be fairly dire, I loved the US ambassador to North Korea being asked at a press conference about the North Korean's statement that they planned to aim their next missile at America. Propaganda or not, he looked worried. Link to comment
Ke1t Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Sounds a nae bad place to live, we just get fed the bad bits, it's probably a nice enough place. Propaganda, min. Remember during the Cold War we were fed the line that Russian Women were all 500lb weight lifters with beards and tits down to their knees.... and it turns out their women are fucking stunning. Believe nothing. Link to comment
E-P-K Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 They even have a unique 5 star hotel Link to comment
360 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Think the construction of the hotel started in the late 80s and then they couldnt afford to finish it. It has just stood as an empty shell until now as they have new backers. Link to comment

chaos_defrost Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Did anyone else look at the picture of the hotel and think it was see through for a split second! Link to comment
