Yeah. And the way that he described it was I didn't know that religion exists or anything like philosophy existed. There was one philosophy that was the Kims. And so anything you do, therefore, for them, no matter what you go through is good, including starvation and forced labor and trafficking drugs and whatever. I mean, I used to live in Berlin. I've lived in Berlin for many years.

And the North Korean embassy there was in the old east, obviously. And it ran a backpackers motel. So all these foreign backpackers coming through Berlin were heading to this like crappy motel in the middle of town. But it was run by the North Korean embassy and it was funneling foreign exchange straight back to Pyongyang.

Yeah. I don't know, to be honest. I should know. My partner's a diplomat. I should figure this out. But yeah, they do this all over the world. There's a bunch of North Korean restaurants all over the world. There's one in Dubai, I think, in Abu Dhabi. There's a Binta one in Dandong, China. They have all these crazy dance shows, traditional dance.
