      Yeah pretty good. It’s been a while so it’s probably even better now. I have been to both sides of the border. I can unequivocally say the south is better

          A Chinese plane (joke)

          I was there for work. A brief stint setting up communication network for a government entity. Spent a month there. Long periods of boredom interrupted by fascinating excursions.

            Wow, ok. So the myth of excursions being heavily curated…? That true?

                It’d be really fascinating to visit NK, but I’d be too scared that they’d take me to work in a labour camp.

                Call me paranoid.

                  I jumped at the chance. Call it youthful bravado. But I get what you mean. I’m not even sure they are running civilian type tours anymore.

            I’m tired. I mistook excursions as executions.

      Seems awfully cheap. Where are you sitting? In the cargo hold?
