Two random North Korea-related stories of note

Just two random interesting things I came across today:

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea apparently can’t get enough South Korea’s Choco Pies. In a country where the best jobs pay $63-100 a month, “the snacks are viewed as exotic, highly prized treats, selling on North Korea’s black markets for as much as $10.”

In the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, meth is offered as casually as a cup of tea.
