There are no post, telephone or transport links between the two halves of the divided Korean peninsula, but Seoul's only North Korean-themed pub aims to give its patrons a taste of their nuclear-armed neighbour.

Owner Jang Woo-kyung has never been north of the Demilitarized Zone -- the two Koreas are technically still at war and Southerners need their government's permission to visit -- but the bar's decor is inspired by imagery from across the border.
The premises are festooned with North Korean-style posters, the lime green walls reminiscent of the pastel shades seen on
Pyongyang apartment blocks, and slogans painted around the pub are written in a white-on-red script similar to the North's propaganda.
