A bar catering to westerners in Pyongyang is expected to close with the North Korean decision to end the World Food Program’s activities in North Korea:

It looks as if Pyongyang’s only bar for foreigners will have to close if, as North Korea demands, all foreign NGO staff leave by January next year. The U.K. Guardian reported Tuesday that the bar, which is run by aid workers, will probably not survive the exodus. Some 300 foreigners live in North Korea, 90 percent of them working for international organizations. The remaining 10 percent are people who come and go on business, a handful of Western journalists, and five English teachers.

Every Friday Pyongyang’s expat crowd gathers at the bar inside the UN World Food Program compound. Foreigners have taken to calling it the RAC ? an acronym for “Random Access Club,” itself a take on the WFP’s famous “no access, no food” slogan. It is also “the single place in North Korea where one can come and go as one pleases,” the paper said, “an oasis of modern globalized normality inside a land where time has not only stood still but gone backwards.”

Judging by the looks of the place I don’t think anyone is missing out on much.
