I think that this article is built on Fugimoto Kenji's book, "Kim Jong-il's Chef" and add further details by interviewing N. Korean defectors in S. Korea, who have intimate knowledge of Kim Jong-il or facilities mentioned here.
All this obscene opulence, while people are starving to death.

There's a very strong Western influence in the architecture of almost every one of those buildings.

you'd think the united nations and especially the euros with all of their "higher" ethics would be interested in this mass starvation.

Wonder what the 'poor' communists are living in...
Yes life is rough for a dictator for life...king of the proletariat...ruling over another 'worker's paradise'
Hopefully our 'spiky' nosed rocket assisted nuclear tipped
bunker busters will find his trying to hide underground
amusing...

Seriously, thanks again! FR absolutely ROCKS when it comes to "North Korean" threads... and you are a big reason for it, what with your constant vigilence, and translating of stuff from Korean to English so we can all enjoy and discuss.

Re #13
No problem! There are always more articles than I can handle. I just post one when I have some time and feel like it. And I watch you guys join in and get great discussion going on, punctuated by great insights and experiences.

"All this obscene opulence, while people are starving to death"
I can't think of a dictator who didn't live in "obscene opulence" while his people suffered.
I'd like to see the insides of these places.

Maybe that is why the resident, Kim's Japanese chef, escaped back to Japan for good.:) Kim now needs a Feng-sui master?
