Apologies for the lack of updates as I have been busy preparing to leave Yale. This summer promises to be an amazingly busy period and I am afraid that I will only be intermittently posting during the next month.

1. Early May - St Gallen Symposium in Switzerland (Trying to meet Egyptian investors in North Korea to pitch for their support on our education project)

2. Mid-May - Travel in Turkey and Syria (A major to-do item after reading books on Syria’s political organization)

3. Late May - World Bank Annual Bank Conference on Development Economics in Sweden (Chance to tap Bank’s expertise in our content strategy and meet the Swedes working on technical assistance to North Korea)

4. Mid July - Australia National University’s East Asia Forum (Chance to meet Australians working on technical assistance to North Korea)
