By the way Ambassador Uden actually has his own blog, which he hasn’t updated in months.

It appears Ambassador Uden maintains another blog that he has been using recently, including today’s post about his private meeting with Kim Dae-Jung:

Just found this gem on Ambassador Uden’s blog; it’s a post by U.K. Ambassador to North Korea Peter Hughes!

Never before and not since has Ambassador Uden’s blog received so many comments. Let’s see if my message makes it through moderation:
Spelunker July 3, 2009
“I am delighted to have discovered Ambassador Uden’s blog and the contribution from Ambassador Hughes regarding spring in Pyongyang.
I see that the last comment from Ambassador Hughes was posted on March 18, just one day after North Korea arrested 2 American journalists at the Tumen River border area.
If a “summer in Pyongyang” contribution is possibly forthcoming, would it be possible to comment on what the diplomatic community in Pyongyang (aside from Sweden’s ambassador) is saying about the American reporters?
I would also be keen on hearing what the average North Korean knows about the American prisoners; is it a topic touted in media that citizens have normal access to? Perhaps Ambassador Hughes can ask some of the ladies sitting by the roadside selling cigarettes or sweets from small tables?”

I have already called Ambassador Hughes who was also smashed by the British media:

Pretty dumb of him and he has since apologized for his comments.
