In a rare insight, we provide accounts and pictures by two journalists who made it behind the curtain of secrecy that shrouds life in North Korea.
THE OFFICIAL VISITOR
Bill Allan reports from
Pyongyang, where the Kim cult isolates the North Korean capital and there is no sign of better
relations with the West
NIGHTS at the Pyongyang Casino can get a bit lonely for the Chinese
croupiers these days. Last weekend, three men who appeared to be North Korean were playing baccarat. They were the only gamblers at the Macao-run casino, leaving the black jack tables empty and more than a dozen slot machines unused.
Outside the small casino, there was little sign of action at the neighbouring massage parlour, karaoke bar and Macao Restaurant that together occupy a basement section in Pyongyang’s Yanggakdo Hotel.
