Pyongyang: With all the international attention focused on Singapore and the historic summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, Pyongyang must be buzzing with excitement, right?

Well, it might be, if anyone knew what was going on.

Instead, the North Korean capital is like the centre of the storm.

With few sources of information other than the state-run media, gossip and word of mouth, most North Koreans are still largely in the dark about the momentous – and potentially life-changing – events that are about to take place outside of their isolated nation.

The official media has reported that the two leaders plan to meet, but has offered few specifics, including where and when. There was no official word that Kim had left the country on Sunday and arrived in Singapore, hours before Trump.
