Hi,
Do your writers live in Pyongyang? How do you get internet access?
Ewan MacDonald
Dear Mr. MacDonald
Yes, our writers do live in Pyongyang. Our government attempted to set up an internet host for the citizens in 1999, and we even had a domain name allocated to our country (.kp) but unfortunately the American imperialist government has made it so our computers are blocked from accessing sites located outside of Korea. Therefore, we only have an internal intranet system. This website was created for us by a western contact, a friend we met during his travels to Pyongyang. Each day we send him, via fax, the news articles to be posted on the website. We hope one day that the American government will unblock us from the internet, and that we can fully communicate with the rest of the world. I should also mention that this column will be posted in a future edition of the print version of the Pyongyang Chronicles. Thank you for writing to us.
With socialist greetings,
Sung Hee Lyoo Suh
Editor - Pyongyang Chronicles

Now as much as I despise the American government, if this guy was able to access online poker I just know he would be here claiming it was rigged. For both Sung Hee and his whining poker playing brothers, Occam's razor is not an idea they're familiar with.
