Kim Il Sung Square
On the birthday of Kim Il Sung it seemed the whole of Pyongyang
had turned up in the sqaure. Our guides told us that this dancing started
early in the morning and continued all day.
These phots don't show it very well but there were thousands of people
there that day. The atmosphere was unbelievable.

Some of my fellow tourists got involved in the dancing. One chap
ended up on BBC World Service in the background as there were
quite a few foreighn journalists in Pyongyang to cover this huge
celebration.
Maypole dancing seems to have made its way to North Korea.
