live from pyongyang, north korea
we had the usual course of the day today, wake up, have breakfast and then tour around with our two guides and translators who are constantly around us. some things just are so different, and taking into account i am on the other side of my world this shouldn’t surprise me. you can really tell that the hockey championships her have mobilized every last ressource to make sure all the international people (around 200) have a good time. as of today we were guided to the korean war memorial, where as you can imagine, we were told the history of the “fatherland war”, north korean side of course. oh yes, one more thing: the euro has made it over here as well and surpassed the us dollar as the currecny of choice.
i believe.
Oh My God, Stefan….I watched a travel show about Vienna tonite, and I got to thinking about you, so I thought I’d check in on your site…..
I can’t believe that you are in North Korea….that is so amazing!!!!!! You’re doing something so special, something so few people anywhere in the world will get the chance
I can’t believe you’re 26, either….Happy (belated) Birthday!!!!
I’d love to hear your story of how you got to this place….write me sometime if you have the time…..
Take Care, Your friend Patrick Hearn, Cleveland Ohio
