North Korea: "It's like The Truman Show, at country scale"

Google chief Eric Schmidt,  who said at one time that everything you do should be posted on line*, visited North Korea with his daughter Sophie. Sophie blogged about the visit in a post titled It might not get weirder than this. Everything she says in her article is surprising. I highly recommend reading it, especially if you like traveling.

Networkworld's Ms. Smith's take: Bugged guesthouse: Eric Schmidt's daughter reveals North Korea trip details.

* Actually, he said something like "if you don't want anyone to know what you are doing, then maybe you shouldn't be doing it." But it amounts to the same thing. I could even prove it mathematically, except that I'm too lazy at the moment, and you probably believe me already.
