One of my favourite sites: ever.
When I was a teenager I had an odd obsession with really hardline Communist states - not because I particularly sympathised, but because I wanted to experience a way of life so wildly at odds with my own. You see, my experience of holidays up to that point was a flat in Bournemouth and taking the dog paddling at Swanage. Days out were Skegness or Dovedale. You can begin to see the attractions Albania held for the young Sp3ccylad, breathlessly fiddling with his short-wave radio to catch the latest news from Radio Tirane. Well, perhaps.
But Communist Albania has gone the way of A-ha and Power Dressing. When the '80s went, so did they.
That really leaves a very select band. And Joy Of Joys! Out of that select band, North Korea has a website! It's quite different, shall we say. Not safe for hangovers, it takes oriental luridity to new levels of utter badly designed pointlessness.
Have fun.

Why is the official website of North Korea in English? And a .com? Nevertheless, very interesting to look at.
