[/quote] Yes they were! Most if not all foreigners in that country are representatives of their countries in North Korea. We all had food but I remember my dad used to make a trips to china almost every 2 months by train to get supplies of other stuff that were not available. The train was awesome, my brother and me would go knocking on the different cabins sing in Korean to the locals on the train and they would fall in love with us and give us treats.

[/quote] No. [quote:SSERAL:MV8xNzM4NjQ0XzI4Nzk0NjU5XzExQzc5RTZF] What did you and your family do for fun? No TV No radio etc. [/quote] There was TV we had a satellite that picked up foreign channels.

One of my fondest memories about being in school in North Korea was during the "Dear leader's" birthday. It was brilliant, the whole school would be turned into a day of games, fun and competitions.
The day usually started off with every single class lining up in an assembly hall where the whole school sang Happy birthday to the "Dear leader".
Then each class beginning from the smallest would go up in a single file and each student was given a shoe-box sized box filled candy, stationary, toys and other little goodies.
Once this was over we all went outside and the games would begin. Really fun obstacle races, tug of war and these sort of competitions. If you or your team won you would win prizes like more candy and other goodies.
I only have good memories of the place. It was so safe I used to walk back home with my brother who was one year older and I was only 5 at the time. I don't remember seeing many cars on the roads, in fact they were extremely rare.
For this reason we used to go skateboard down a steep downhill slope which was a well maintained main road, and to this day I have scars on my knees from the falls.
If you are wondering how I went to school there, my father served on a diplomatic mission, Im not gonna get into more details. If you want to know more about North Korea then I will answer your questions.
