Pyongyang University of Science and Technology

The unlikely marriage of hard-line communists and Christian capitalists has finally wed after delays of about 10 years and many objections. Pyongyang University of Science and Technology (PUST) started its first classes last October when 16 professors from the United States and Europe arrived to teach the first group of 160 students. With any marriage, there will be those who celebrate and those who disapprove. The last I heard, the PUST teachers will be getting a break from its beloved spouse during Christmas.

Watch this video for a forum about PUST.
