    • Slave to the Blog: Ambassador Rodman, David Duke, and John Lennon! 22. Mai 2013
      When we last checked in, Dennis Rodman was chillaxing with his friend “Kim,” doing Sunday morning talk shows, carrying diplomatic messages, and appealing to Kim to “do him a solid” and release Kenneth Bae.  It seems that Worm is now losing his patience, indicating that “Obama can’t do sh#t” but promising to make another pitch [...]
    • Kenneth Waltz 1924-2013 21. Mai 2013
      In a classic essay, Isaiah Berlin draws on a fragment attributed to Archilochus to draw a distinction between foxes and hedgehogs; the fragment notes that “the fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.” If there was ever a hedgehog, it was Kenneth Waltz. Waltz’s “one big thing” was to view international [...]
    • What are the North Koreans doing? 20. Mai 2013
      Considerable attention focused last week on the visit to Pyongyang by Isao Iijima, special assistant to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. As I observed in a post last week, the Japanese public places marginally greater concern on abductees than on the North Korean nuclear program and the abductee issue has been a focal point of [...]

Noch ein Reisebericht…


Und nochmal gibts einen Bericht zu einer Reise nach Nordkorea, diesesmal allerdings auf Englisch. Lindsay Fincher ist ne Amerikanerin mit einem äußerst ausgeprägten Interesse für alles, was mit Kommunismus weltweit zu tun hat, was sich auch in ihrer Vita (Master in Russia und Post-Sowjet Studies), aber vor allem in dem mittlerweile fast erfolgreichen Versuch, alle Staaten zu bereisen, in denen es kommunistische Regime gab oder gibt, widerspiegelt. Naja, und  bei so einer Interessenlage darf natürlich Nordkorea nicht im Reiseplan fehlen. Ihre Berichte sind mit echt tollen Fotos gespickt und und ihr symphatischer Schreibstil macht das Lesen der etwa zehn Beiträge zum Thema recht angenehm (Besonders toll finde ich den zur Mangyongdae Fun Fair, dem “Disneyland Pjöngjangs”).

Also wer gerne Reiseberichte liest und sich nicht daran stört, dass sie sehr, nunja, amerikanisch sind (dabei meine ich nicht: “George Bush, die Achse des Bösen”-amerikanisch, sondern eher: “Wir kaufen die gesamten Eiscremebestände des Eisstandes im Park auf und schenken sie den armen Koreanern und dann noch n paar Spielzeuge obendrauf”-amerikanisch, aber es gibt ja durchaus Schlimmeres, immerhin wars gut gemeint (ich lasse mal die relativ wahre Wahrheit, dass das Gegenteil von “gut” “gut gemeint” ist, außer acht)), der sollte sich das auf jeden Fall angucken. Wie gesagt, tolle Fotos, interessante Locations, immer ein paar Minuten Lesezeit wert.

Weitere Reiseberichte könnt ihr in der Kategorie “Reiseberichte” finden.
