The Oxford dictionary defines "hermit" as "a person living in solitude as a religious discipline; a reclusive or solitary person".
I have nothing against hermits. In fact I love them.
My classic image of a hermit is Lao Tzu. Nobody has come up with a greater gem than the Tao Te Ching.
But I am not too certain I like hermit N.Korea.
I have nothing against the N. Korean people though. How can I? How can anybody?
But in a country where everyone has been zombied and thinking is an official no-no and there is nothing but Great Leader, Supreme Leader and whatnot of a similar hue, what is there to like about the country?
Sorry, I am wrong. There IS something to like about the country. It does provide you comedy. And the wonderful thing is that it costs you nothing for the laughs it provides.
It is so funny to see a great leader being so serious about a little rocket.
Now that's how not to be a hermit. It is so painful.

Kluang Town - Click To Visit
Kluang was a sleepy hollow, but is fast becoming a bustling town. You can't miss the bust-shaped gunung Lambak lording over the place and the town is well known for its tv brand coffee powder
Kluang RailCoffee
The Kluang railway station coffee shop, now re-branded Kluang RailCoffee, is well known for its cuppa of coffee and the charcaol grilled piping hot buns oozing with butter and kaya...It used to attract standing-room only crowds. It still does, but the last time I was there it wasn't a good experience for me. The famous coffee had somewhat lost its oomph and even the buns...The shop has a long and noted history being first opened for business in 1938 and the place is now run by the 3rd generation LIm family. I hope the next time I return, the coffee would regain its oomph. Click to read more...
