What do you want to know? I've studied the area over the last few years.

Is it the one with Lisa Ling? I've seen that one and four or five others. Really mind-blowing that a place like that still exists in the 21st century.
I have a pretty strong interest in N. Korea. I've only read a couple of books about it so far, though; one of which was Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea by Barbara Demick. I read it this past summer; it was really a great book. I'm about to read The Aquariums of Pyongyang on my Kindle.

VIdeos of N. Side of DMZ and JSA 3partyzani on You Tube has pre Kim Jong Il videos of the North side of the DMZ. While most American videos only show the one Military Armistice building, 3partyzani shows the insides of the grey buildings on some of his videos. His videos show a lot of the other side. I think he must have been the son of a Czech diplomat or member of the Czech Neutral Nation Supervisory Commission.

When you finish the aquariums I recommend 'Eyes of the Tailless Animals' just be warned it is a very brutal account of life inside of a North Korean prison camp.

NORTH KOREA IS BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. NORTH KOREA HAS FREEDOM AND IS HIGHLY ADVANCED. DO NOT BELIEVE ANY LIES AGAINST NORTH KOREA OR ITS GREAT LEADER (OR GREAT LEADER'S GHOST).

Damn right it's the best country in the world, don't believe the lies of the evil imperalists at national geographic, instead watch a real film about Korea made by Korean people.

Look, the DPRK is a glorious paradise!
