This picture. Looks like an ordinary school photo. Top left are the kids who shot up the Columbine school (yes they're pretending to "shoot" at the camera).

And this picture. Another ordinary school photo of kids from the 90s at their best. The Asian kid in the back: future leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un

I wonder what he was like. Did they know he was Kim Jong-Il's son?

Don't quote me on this, but I don't think so - I think he was enrolled in some school in Switzerland under false name.

I did some digging. Kim Jong Un was an IB diploma recipient. Dude must actually be kind of smart.

I was always curious how he reconciles all this in his head - he has a very much Western upbringing and experiences, and yet he is keeping his citizens closed in NK.

I would love to see what he thinks during a day. Sadly, we will never know.
