Anybody remember Kim Jung-Un's dream for a ski resort in North Korea? Well he is at it again with this
latest addition to the North Korean tourist destination brochure. This American styled water park East of Munsu city is filled with gigantic and vibrantly coloured water slides along with glass pyramids that would make the Louvre jealous. New reports that have shown images of this water park have revealed more men in uniform inspecting the park than those actually enjoying the slides. This appears to be yet another attempt by Kim Jung-Un to portray the Hermit Kingdom as a thriving nation, full of wealth and communal activities as opposed to an authoritarian regime wracked with poverty, starvation and notorious for their prolific use of labour camps. Why the North Korean dictator feels the need to implement such measures is beyond this blogger as it has quickly become apparent to me that the issues surrounding North Korea are far too vast and all-encompassing to be able to be resolved by feebly painting an image of prosperity for North Korea on the international stage.
