£13740

I wonder whether "yes"es or "no"s gave more value, or whether it was mixed.

Jeez. I thought that, as a formerly polyamorous, alcoholic, drug-addicted, overweight, medically unfit Pagan, my soul would wouldn't be worth shit.

Wolf...honey...I have *got* to hear your life story sometime.

£14,306. All things considered, I'd be screwing them.

I lied a little to achieve £34736.

I tested it: stating that I believed in UFOs decreased the value by £1800


The information about their company is pretty funny.

The free and open country of North Korea...

Two blog type sites of visitors - one from Japan and one westerner and, of course, the official site of North Korea!

I'm afraid it's not all that interesting.

I answered honestly, but the test is probably weighted heavily against monogamous, pagan, conservative gun owners who own Nokia products and rent videos from Blockbuster ...

I probably would have lost my remaining 8% by admitting that I shop on QVC and have visited Studio Park. More than once. (it's only like 45 minutes away and it's fun to see television happen)

Oh. Thanks Ep.

It's actually at internetisshit.org. According to the Preview Reply function, this link actually works. Hurray!

It's funny that the Official Site of North Korea is a .com -- which, I understand, stands for commercial. I wonder if somebody thought it meant 'communist', or they just weren't thinking very hard?

$80,212.47 or €70,060.87. Nope. Still not for sale...

Your soul is worth £13787. For your peace of mind, 65% of people have a purer soul than you.

Now where is that pounds sterling to dollar converter?

Thank you for the links, Beestie. They were extremely interesting to read.

The English travelogue was very intriguing, and a great story, but unfortunately it kept me up several hours after I had hoped to go to bed =]. Having read that, I would really like to visit North Korea -- it sounds like a fascinating place (not that I would ever want to live there, mind you). It sounds like the Arirang would have been an amazing spectacle to see. I thought it was funny that there was a problem with him taking a picture inside the building at the JSA, and that South Korean tour guides had told them that the building was nothing more than a façade. I was also surprised that no one wanted to push open the door, or present the flowers to the statue -- I would have had fun doing that.

The Japanese travelogue was interesting because it showed what had changed between their visits. The Japanese tourist complained that he couldn't get the schoolchildren to smile for a picture, but the American from South Korea complained that the children in the schoolrooms wore forced smiles whenever the tourists poked their heads in. The metro lighting was insufficient to read when the Japanese toured the place, but when the American took his pictures, it was brightly illuminated.
