North Korean refugees in South Korea are more than 30,000

North Korean refugees in South Korea are more than 30,000 as of November, 2016.

Even though North Korean regime forbids information from South Korea, some North Koreans are well aware of the fact that South Korea is a free country and South Korean are richer than North Koreans.

I understand about 200 people from North Korea are living in the USA.

The month cost of internet usage is 200 US dollars in North Korea.

Many college students in North Korea are without three to four teeth

Many college students in North Korea are without three to four teeth, because dental care service is not sufficient in North Korea.

If it is true, a lot of dentists are necessary after the unification of Korea.

Fishing, transportation, restaurants are the three popular private business in North Korea.

According to the regulations of North Korea, everything in North Korea is owned by North Korean regime, so that people can not own anything.

But people began to start their private business to solve their hunger and poverty after North Korean regime could not provide people with enough foods.

People in North Korea began to earn money by their private business to survive.

Fishing, transportation, restaurants are the three popular private business in North Korea.
People own trucks and buses and operate transportation business in local area.
People own boats and sell fish in the market.
People own restaurants.  Officially the restaurants are owned by North Korean regime, because the owner need certificates from North Korean regime.

I think small things are the beginning of the big change.

Hillary will attack North Korea?

Hillary will attack North Korea?

A researcher insists that there will be a military attack on North Korea if Hillary wins Presidential election, because Hillary wants to control Asia.

Is it true?

I think America will not attack North Korea if Kim Jong Un does not threat America and South Korea.

The outfits of ladies in Pyongyang have changed because they are influenced by Sul Joo Lee, wife of Kim Jong Un.

The outfits of ladies in Pyongyang have changed because they are influenced by Sul Joo Lee, wife of Kim Jong Un.

Sul Joo Lee wears up-to-date outfits with famous brands known to the world.
The more North Korean ladies are interested in the outfit, then the more interested they would be toward the outside of North Korea.

Small things can be the first step to the big changes.

Do North Korean students learn English at school, too?

Do North Korean students learn English at school, too?
Yes, since 2008 the  third grade students in elementary schools learn English one hour per week.
In middle school, students in the first grade learn English 4 hours a week, students from the second grade to sixth grade learn English 3 hours a week.

The most popular foreign language was Russian language before the Soviet Union collapsed, but now English is the most important foreign language even to North Korean students.

Do they know the fact that they have to learn foreign cultures to understand  foreign languages.
It is a good piece of news.

Children in North Korean are not allowed to watch animations made by US and South Korea.

It is a big tragedy for children in North Korea.
Animations for children are full of messages for happiness, future dreams, love for neighbors and families.
I am sorry that North Korean officials think in different way.
