Inside the North Korea Pavilion (JENNIFER JETT)

North Korea makes its World Expo debut in Shanghai. The North Korea Pavilion has a conspicuous lack of content – a few video screens and a monument to juche, Kim Il Sung's philosophical system of self-reliance. More interesting is the gift shop, which features a selection of works by current leader Kim Jong Il.
