Mandatory Education in North Korea

The mandatory education in North Korea is 11 years , including 1 year pre-emementary , 4 years elementary school and 6 years high schools.

From elementary school to university , they study only before the noon , and they choose what they are interested in (music , dance, sports and so on......) during the time of afternoon.

Once a week , they have a class of teaching Jechu Idea .

Underground Palace in Pyongyang : Part I

You can't go to Pyongyang without visiting its underground palace : Pyongyang Metro.

Axis of Evil Part II -- North Korea

Since I've been to Iran and found that it isn't
evil at all.

It also reflected that the information of Iran
in Taiwan isn't enough and "One Word Phenomenon."

And then I turned to give myself next challange is :
travel to the other axis of evil country North Korea.

Most of international news in Taiwan are from
Western Countries. I thought they might have a huge
misunderstanding of Islam.

So , I wanted to check if North Korea as worst as others said.

The first sentence of our travel members

was : Why you come to North Korea ?

I replied : it's alive Marx Museum and

unique.

My answer is the same when I had a

interview of the TV Channel "World No.1."

Many of our members are traveling more

than 100 countries.

The reason they came was that North Korea
is a mysterious and isolated country.

It's ever unfreedom in Taiwan in the past.

Maybe , up to date , the freedom is a bit overflow.

Everybody maight remind the days that's unfree

,but stable.

Trying to meet the similar feeling in the past and

in the Red Utopia.

Tangun Temple

It was set up in 1042 (Koryo Period) , consists of 24 palaces.















A minitary God.

Landing Serendipity

Air Koryo parked at S.H.E. airport

Opened baggage rack

Shortly 50 minutes flight , only served a cup of drinking ,

it's pear soda of the photo.

On borading, I smelt some flavor of diesel fuel.

The flight attendents wore red suits with white

gloves.

Their anousments were sonorous and emontional,

the ending left without "OUR GREAT LEADER

KIM......."

Hyangsan Hotel : Part I

Hyangsan Hotel with pyramid shape

The room looked like some inns in Taiwan.

Traditional Korean dolls might be good souveniors.

Each couple costs 1 euro.

North Koreans broochs are another choice of

souveniors.

If you like me a stamp-collected fan , you can

also buy the stamp-collected book from the shop.
