Hey, Who's Interested in Going to North Korea?

While following a link from LGF I was able to get to the official North Korean tourism webpage. Now I know that you're thinking "Why does North Korea need a tourism page? Doesn't everyone already know it's a workers' paradise?" But you can still see the awesome on their page.

While on the site, I noticed that there is an upcoming trip for those interested in visiting the DPRK-- except for those with American passports. I also read the undisputable fact that the South wants to reunite with the North, but a pesky 'wall built by the Americans' and 40,000 US troops keep it from happening.

This is not to mention North Korea's booming export business. Did you know that the North has a car company called Peace Motors? Seriously. And on that list there was not one mention of nuclear or rocket technology. What a shame.

And naturally, to show how great it is, they also show a picture from one of their sweatshops! Funny, though... I didn't see any pictures of people eating-- although North Korea must have a bitchin' ping-pong team.

And if you need some tunes for your I-Pod, feel free to listen to all of the Stalinist anthems your little capitalist, baby-killer heart desires.

Also included are biographies of Kim Jong-Il and his father, the late deity Kim Il-Sung. Maybe Kim is just ronery vis a vis Team America.

Come to Schoharie County and Hike Vroman's Nose

Also included in the scenic Schoharie Valley is Vroman's Nose, a place of wonder and history. It is an excellent hiking trail, containing multiple paths. On top of the mountain is the "dance floor," which is flat rock scraped so by glaciers during the receding of the last Ice Age.

It's also a place of history, where Iroquois Indians used to use before the advent of the Europeans. Timothy Murphy was also famed to have climbed the mountain.

Vroman's nose served as a focal point in the struggle of Schoharie Valley Patriots against the British Crown. The Lower Fort of the Valley was located under the shadow of the mount. It is also rumored that the hero of the battle of Saratoga, Timothy Murphy spent much time at Vroman's Nose, and in fact lived nearby.

Vroman's Nose has also been a windfall for the study of geology in Upstate New York, being a sort of geologic anomaly. ^[4] Vroman's Nose is considered a treasure and its history is in part maintained by Schoharie County Historian Harold Zoch.

It's free to climb and worth a trip...
Come visit if you can!
