Dear Peter Zeihan

I apologize for not responding to you sooner but I have just returned from
a long trip. Your credentials are impressive and motivation is deeply
appreciated but my work with North Korea is basically a "no budget" family
project which requires only some volunteer work here in Tokyo, such as
helping with shipping, packing and translations. As it is also difficult to
get into North Korea, I propose you might wish to look elsewhere to use
your skills. I am also quite involved in Cambodia and there are many NGO
projects there. Your skills would probably be put to better use in a region
where travel is freer and mobility not impeded.

Best regards,

Bernard Krisher
