DPRK: Negotiations Off, Games On

We already know not to hurt the feelings of the Chinese people. Now it appears that unless you want it to walk out of your nuclear talks, you don't want to insult North Korea.

From the BBC: "North Korea now says it is walking out for good, after describing the UN action (condemning their recent rocket launch) as an 'unbearable insult'."

Separately, though it's too soon to stay at the hotel of doom, we've just gotten an email from Koryo Tours telling us that North Korea's Mass Games are on again this summer, from 10 August, and that "American tourists will also be welcome in North kora at this time of year...."

Details from the Koryo Tours web site.
