Came home from work yesterday to find all the mailboxes in my apartment building had a buissness card sticking out of it, advertising Russian escorts. Which is a bit odd, whether trafficked (more likely) or working in Korea of their free will, I would expect the supply of white women doing that to be low enough that working in a large city would be much more lucrative. Now Sejong is a growing city, but it's not that big. Perhaps if I lived in an apt. complex downtown near the huge government center it would be plausible that there could be enough high status guys to make it worth while. But where I live, 30 minutes out from there? Bizarre.

Perhaps it's some foreign students at one of the local universities working on the side?  It is a mystery.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I am quite surprised that North Korea allowed "broadcasting at the border" to be used as a bargaining chip at the negotiation table.  Turning those back on isn't too difficult.

I'm also surprised at how easily it ended. The drought in Korea is bad, and in the North especially so. It will likely be their worst harvest since the famine of the late 90s. I would have expected much more saber rattling and blackmail attempts to gain food aid.

I suspect they are bottom feeder fugs fleeing the collapse of the Russian economy.

Out of curiosity, does the flyer list a price?

Relations between North Korea and China are pretty bad.  There will be a huge military parade on 3 September in Beijing to mark the 70th anniversary of China's WWII victory against Japan.  The official mainland news reported that China has invited Kim to attend, but he has turned Xi's invitation down.  He is sending some politburo member instead.  Meanwhile, the South Korea president will attend personally.  It is noted that the South Korea president has visited China several times already, while Kim has yet to set foot in China since his ascension to power. 

North Korea is increasingly viewed as a troublesome distant relative, rather than an ally, in China.

Nope, just some slangy gibberish that I couldn't parse about catching a Russian steed and a cell phone number. I assume that you negotiate with whoever answers the phone and then they drop off a woman who looks nothing like the glamour shots on the card at your apartment.

Are you sure it wasn't a PSA warning against catching a Russian STD?  :hmm:

The horse logo on the card leads me to think not.
