TOKYO (Reuters) -- After years of telling the world about a
devastating famine, North Korea on Friday boasted about its deluxe
restaurant for jet setters visiting Pyongyang. 

Shaped like a large sightseeing boat, Pyongyang's hottest
restaurant, called "Chongryu," specializes in national dishes
including a mouth-watering hot pot meal called "sinsollo," the
official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said in a report
monitored in Tokyo.

For some reason, this strikes me as reminiscent of the genocidal
'famine' in Ukraina after WW1 -- an artifact of calculation, created
and maintained by the thugs in power.   Truly a crime against
humanity.   Will it ever be so punished?  Of course not!
