Tips to grow your North Korean Startup

Really interesting article!

On a related note, one oddity I often see online (and, once, in person) are the die-hard groups of westerners who insist that North Korea is actually a paradise on earth and any claim to the contrary is some kind of evil capitalist propaganda. Utterly baffling, when there are so many sources like this article indicating otherwise.

Not paradise, but not a prison state like the US describes. Just a really poor country like other poor countries. My cousin (Korean-Canadian) went on one of those hokey tours in the DPRK before they were banned and actually talked to the locals. She said they had normal lives of jobs, friends, relationships, hobbies, like we all do, just with less material wealth.
