North Korean Economy Watch thru Google Earth

Please take a look at North Korean Economy Watch site if you have not seen it yet. The creator and editor is our own GMU student, Curtis Melvin (a Ph.D student in Economics). The site provides easy access to geographic information on N. Korea's economic issues that have hardly revealed to many of us so far.

"Compiling public maps, interviews, innovative analysis, and elbow grease, the editor of this site has also created the most comprehensive mapping of North Korea that publicly exists today. You can download it onto Google Earth." See a Wall Street Journal article highlighting his work.
