DPRK

There's a great story in the Murdoch press today about how the North Koreans have built an one-mile-long runway, embedded into a mountain so that only the end opens out. In effect, the planes just fly out of the mountain. The Times, hilariously, characterises this as very 'thunderbirds'.

I once played the piano for an audience of appreciative North Korea children, at the Children's Palace in Pyongyang.
