Using the whois website, I decided to look into North Korea. I searched up “North Korea” in Google, and the website www.korea-dpr.com came up first on my search. Apparently, the website is owned by an organization called KFA (Korean Friendship Association). It has a variety of information on North Korea’s communist ideals, the regime, Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il and so forth. But what struck me was that there was even a mention about tourism in North Korea. It made it sound like this organization is a “good friend” of North Korea. To me, this seemed strange.
