Kim Jong-il Giving Field Guidance at Pyongyang Zoo
[2008-12-02 11:12 ]
N. Korean leader Kim Jong-il gave "lengthy" field guidance at Pyongyang's Central Zoo which has completed its renovation, according to KCNA' report on Dec. 2. Its dispatch reported that the event occurred 'recently.'
There have been N. Korean reports on Kim Jong-il sending various animals as gifts to the zoo, but this is the first time he gave field guidance there since Yonhap News started recording KCNA reports in 1993.

Ping!
OKAY Photoshoppper take a crack on this LOLOLOLOL!
Did Dead Leader bring his own shovel?
We used the manure to build our giant space nipple!
He don’t look good even for a double.
I’m just surprised he didn’t give a lecture on microbiology
at the same time.
I know. I know. My bad.
My favorite Kim Jong-il story is the report of the first time he played golf and had holes-in-one on nearly half the holes. Not to be outdone Chuck Norris then made 18 holes-in-one using only a broken putter.
The gift was handed to an official concerned on Nov. 30 by Abdullah Ahmed Ghanim, member of the General Committee and head of the Political Department of the congress, on a visit to the DPRK.

Well, here is the update on gifts in Yemen:
Gifts should only be given to the most intimate of friends. To receive a present from a lesser acquaintance is so embarrassing as to be offensive. Even worse is expressing admiration for something belonging to another because it makes him feel obliged to make a gift of it.
If one is confident enough and determined to give a gift, it must be the best affordable. A carpet must, for example, be handmade. Never, however, buy gold jewellery or silk garments for men, as both are deemed effeminate in Islam. Platinum is acceptable but, as it can be confused with white gold, silver is safer. Extravagant gifts, such as motorcars, are construed as bribes. Bribery is more common in the Yemen than elsewhere in Arabia.
