Now Reading

I came across this book when I was in Harris 2 days ago while waiting for hubs to finish shopping for his IPAD 2 accessories. Its been quite a while since I last visit Harris, maybe 1 mth ago? I had long finished all the books I last brought.

This time, this book I brought is titled "Nothing to Envy" with narrators recounting the lives in North Korea.

North Korea is easily said to be 1 of the most mysterious country in the world. Worlds apart from its' neighbours or former partner, South Korea. While South Korea is moving forward with the times, North Korea however seems to be stopped moving or rather been moving backwards.

I had always been curious about life in this country where rumours said that they are eating tree barks due to lack of food.

Been half way thru the book onli but it is enuff to send chill down my spine by reading how the plp survive and how they lived under the ruling of their supreme leader..It is realli an eye opener with real life accounts from the defectors telling the author of encounters there..Man, it makes me count my blessing to be born in Singapore once again..
