Sep 9th, 2008 is a day with great meaning to all Koreans. It is the day which commemorates the 60th anniversary of the founding of D. P. R. Korea. On the very same day 60 years ago after long and arduous struggle against Japanese imperialists, our great leader, comrade Kim Il Sung, who is the eternal president for all our people founded a new nation which has its people as its master. From that day forth, our people have enjoyed the genuine freedom and happiness our motherland wields as the glorious country of Juche in the world.

Today under the wise leadership of the great leader, comrade Kim Jong Il, our people have made leaps in various fields including politics, economy and culture and has been advancing vigorously, following the banner of Songun.

Kang, Nung Su, Minister of Culture, D. P. R. Korea

Renowned documentary photographer Tomas van Houtryve entered North Korea by posing as a businessman looking to open a chocolate factory. Despite 24-hour surveillance by North Korean minders, he took arresting photographs of Pyongyang and its people—images rarely captured and even more rarely distributed in the West. They show stark glimmers of everyday life in the world’s last gulag.

of course they do are expert at something so crazy as mass games
