Now that's what I call state capitalism

Dining with the Dear Leader
By Bertil Lintner

PHNOM PENH - Its undoubtedly the liveliest and most popular Korean restaurant in town. Packed for lunch and dinner, the Pyongyang Restaurant is famous not only for its cold noodles and barbecue served with kim chi, but also for its talented wait staff, which when not serving are dancing to traditional Korean tunes played on violins and electric piano.

But the Pyongyang Restaurant in Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh is no ordinary Korean eatery. For one, it's owned and run by the North Korean government, a capitalist enterprise that sends its profits directly to state coffers in Pyongyang.

Oh baby I love Korean food!

That's cool, though.  I hope North Korea can build a decent economy and actually use their money properly.  Gotta overthrow the government there, y'know.  Then some real progress can happen.

You'd think a thousand miles would be enough,
