He also got crappy ice cream, a barrage of propaganda and a chance to fly paper airplanes out of his 15th-floor hotel window. While there, he got a rare chance to observe firsthand one of the last remaining totalitarian Communist societies. In 2001, French-Canadian cartoonist Delisle traveled to North Korea on a work visa to supervise the animation of a children's cartoon show for two months. ![]() ![]() ![]() Items in order will be sent via Express post as soon as they arrive in the warehouse.
