A North Korean evening
Tonight a friend who has close connections with North Korea organized a dinner at 大同江 up near the Olympic Village. It’s supposed to be the best n Korean restarunt in town. It’s walls are decorated with posters from old North Korean movies such as The flower Girl Which I enjoyed as a young girl. After the dinner we were treated with a singing and dancing show. Quite a night! In case you wonder the feb 16 reference, that’s the birth day if Kim Jon-il!
