Sur le site officiel de la République Populaire Démocratique de Corée, quand on clique sur "enter" sur la page d'accueil, on est redirigé vers une page à la gloire du great leader actuellement en poste et de son papounet, le non moins great leader Kim Il Sung, le tout agrémenté de deux biographies hautes en couleurs. Mais ce qui me plait le plus, dans ce site, c'est sa rubrique FAQ. Je ne résiste pas au plaisir de vous en faire partager les meilleurs moments :


1. Can I get a signed photograph from Leader Kim Jong IL?

Soon the KFA shop will offer such article.

Ouf ! Mais l'attente est longue...

2. Can I send a letter to North Korea and get a penpal in North Korea?

You can send the letter if you have an valid address and contact person. We provide no service for penpal friends.

Ils ne connaissent pas meetic.fr ?

3. Can I emigrate to North Korea and live in North Korea?

It's possible only in very special situations and having honor/merits. You must send a request letter stating your reasons, together with your complete CV, copy of your passport and certificates to korea@korea-dpr.com

N'oubliez pas votre lettre de motivation !

4. Can I work in North Korea as a teacher/interpreter/(other)?

No.

Ca, au moins, c'est clair !

5. Can I travel to North Korea? I heard it is impossible to travel to North Korea. Is it true?

You can travel to North Korea only as a tourist, or as a part of a delegation invited to the country by the Government. The Korean International Travel Company (Ryogaengsa) can give more information about tourist trips, and the Korean Friendship Association (KFA) also arranges delegations to the DPRK every year. See www.korea-dpr.com/travel for more information.

7. I am a journalist / news reporter and I'm interested in doing a documentary in North Korea. Can I?

Send your details to Special Delegate Mr. Alejandro Cao de Benos in the e-mail korea@korea-dpr.com

Bah...  L'ORTF...

8. Can I travel to North Korea as a backpacker? (Independant travel)

No. You must travel as a group only, even if you are the only participant you must be with Korean guides at all times.

...Hum... finalement, j'irai plutôt faire un tour à la piscine.

9. Can I join the Korean People's Army?

No, only Korean nationals with DPRK citizenship

 Et m**** !

18. Is North Korea a 'Stalinist' state?

The term 'Stalinism' is highly loaded and is most frequently employed not as a descriptive term but as an insult. The DPRK political system is based on the Juche Idea, a theory developed by the late President Kim Il Sung stressing national self-reliance and development according to the unique characteristics of individual nations. 'Stalinism,' on the other hand, was articulated as a universalistic political ideology. The DPRK is indeed a socialist state, meaning that all the means of production are socially owned. However, the central implication of the 'Stalinist' accusation--simply that the DPRK is a dictatorship--is inaccurate. Korea is a socialist democracy guaranteeing its citizens the full range of individual liberties and rights provided by many liberal regimes, and more.

Tiens,moi  qui croyais que les trotskystes faisaient précisément la critique inverse au stalinisme. Va falloir que je révise mes classiques.

19. Is North Korea 'reforming' its economy and moving towards capitalism?

While the comparison between the DPRK and 'China in the 1980s' is frequently evoked by many so-called 'experts' these days, it is completely incorrect and misleading. The DPRK remains a planned socialist economy and has no intention of embracing the capitalist developmental model.

Nous voilà rassurés...

20. What is North Korea's stance on homosexuality?

Due to tradition in Korean culture, it is not customary for individuals of any sexual orientation to engage in public displays of affection. As a country that has embraced science and rationalism, the DPRK recognizes that many individuals are born with homosexuality as a genetic trait and treats them with due respect.

Homosexuals in the DPRK have never been subject to repression, as in many capitalist regimes around the world. However, North Koreans also place a lot of emphasis on social harmony and morals. Therefore, the DPRK rejects
many characteristics of the popular gay culture in the West, which many perceive to embrace consumerism, classism and promiscuity.

Hum, c'est pas un peu de droite, ça ?
