Let's go ski! -- uh, N Korea??

[docmirror]

I'm a big fan of skiing. I've been on all kinds of slopes, in the US and some overseas as well. That bastion of downhill ski prowess N Korea is building a new resort.

Maybe "resort" is being generous. Something tells me that few if any people will be shushing down this in the coming winter. Since I can't get a visa for N Korea, it's gonna be tough for me to give a report on conditions. Maybe they'll have a website, with ski cams? Meh - prolly not.

<edit: I guess the state dept has relaxes rules for visiting by US citizens. Mebee I will go give a snow report.>

Why can't you? My sister just got back from a 16 day trip. She had some interesting observations, one of the most interesting, "There's a bunch of people continuously moving, but for the life of me I could figure out why, and the minders wouldn't answer."

Do you know any heavily tattooed/pierced NBA players that might do you a solid?
