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.








They were observed the cell of leaves.














School Historial Museum













Tracks without P.U.

But they still won more medals than Taiwanese in Olympic Games.












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.

The project was instigated by Kim Jong Il in 1966, and finished in 1982.

There are two lines and 17 stations.







Ticket Office

Flat price , about 0.05 dollars
















The platform is 100 meters underground.
You have to take at last 3 minutes by escalator.



















The subway doors both closing and opeing by man power.













Still put on Kim Il-Seong and Kim Jeong-Il inside of the carriage

High School in Pyongyang

Their performance never diluted by crowd and time.
And thta's what I need to learn.













Incredible performance , but, just lack of something.













In the end , all of us took photos with the students.

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.

Arirang Mass Game 1 -- Only North Korea Can Do This

You should't miss "Arirang Mass Game" if you wanna experience "Big is beautiful."

Hundred thousands means the total number of people.

There were thirty thousands of students who were in charge of chaning the background.

They started to practicing one month ago.

Joining the Arirang is the highest glouious to the people in North korea.

Many poeople even involved two or three performances.

Comparing to the opening Beijan Olympic Game , less high-tech light and sound effect , relied on humon power majorly .

Such a huge performance , only North Korea can do this......

More Beautiful than Des Glaneuses

Two grils sweeping in front of Grand Mounment Mansu Hill , their hard-working were more beautiful than the brand picture "Des Glaneuses."













After the leaving tourists who were paying their respects to "the Great Leader Kim Il Cheng ."

Two girls were spontaneous heading to sweep the floor infront of the stage.

Their faith were inner changed to a part of life.








There are many interpres of the city , but the faith is one only......













Chollima Status

Horse
Little Boys' favorite animal
Ancient armies' good friend
And then , the symbol of freedom without
restriction....

Beginning from Pyongyang Airport

Few months ago , the news about pyongyang airport vs. Songshan airport (in Taipei, Taiwan) bubbled with noise.

I don't judge anything , you can judge by the following photos.









The Airport Arrival

A guy camera us since we entered the building.

At first glance of the North Korea custom officers as if we were in Vietnam.

Cuaes they are the familiar face , dark skin, with navy-green coat.








Depature and Arrival are in the same building.















Duty Free Shop

Most of them are ginseng products.











A corner of the waiting room

Some sunlight irraditaed the room and
revealed its cold and lonely at the same time.

Albania in Asia -- North Korea

To such a fabulous country , it has receieved too many criticisms and taunts.

I'm tend to describe it in postive view.

I confused about someone whom critize about the illusion of North Korea.

When they critize North Korea , how many illusions they make for their life? (The illusion of happiness , the illusion of rich)

North Korea , it just did as others did : To show its best to others.

And , who would not do this?
