North Koreans will be shocked when they find out the greatest daily worry in South Korea is upgrading to the latest IPhone and not famine.

I would think North Koreans must have SOME idea what it's like in the south. I took a tour of Panmujeon and the JSA back in June, and the guide told us that some South Koreans are allowed to work in the factories on the north side. They probably have really strict protocols for working there, but you would think some of them must blab about the south from time to time. I don't know too many South Koreans who don't blab about Starcraft of Girls Generation from time to time
