The Koreans call the West Sea Yellow Sea. In the mouth of the Taedong in this sea in Namp'o in the years 1981 to 1986, three Army divisions, then built the largest dam in the world. The so-called West Sea Barrage consists of an 8-kilometer-long dam, three locks for ships up to 50,000 gross tons, 36 sluices and a viewing platform in a museum building anchor shape.
The dam is used primarily as a watershed between the sea and river water, as a fast road and rail link between the north and south banks of the Taedong as well as a physical barrier the river mouth. He kept the region far north as Pyongyang from possible floods, the boat traffic makes regardless of the strong tides and serves on the availability of fresh water for industry and water supply schemes in the region.
We visit a mineral water source in which the water is also bottled. The director of the factory told that are being produced so many bottles a day. The detective makes like wild notes in his small block and said brightly, but in a conspiratorial tone, that the number does not agree that it is far lower. He has stopped time, counted the bottles that run in this time of the assembly line and then extrapolated. I just nod and irritated looking into the distance.
are, as always eat it too much, we can half stand. I think of the people who collect the nuts out on the street. The group is composed with one exception only of men and still resembles a pile of laundry women. A rumor making the rounds. Our tour leader with the earlier assistant was seen running, someone they have kept secret hands, another has as it is compressed in a kind of together, they would not allow, though, if they do not share non-existent goods and chattels . We visit the war museum. Half-truths, outright lies, romanticized war stories, which are one as a budding historian's hair on end. A basement full of conquered, American Weapons, tanks, helicopters, airplanes and as climax a heartfelt letter of apology from downed, American helicopter pilot.
then visited by a huge war memorial and finally the American spy ship "Pueblo".
The USS Pueblo (AGER-2) is a scout ship of the U.S. Navy, which has acquired in 1968 by the capture by the North Korean navy special celebrity. It is still owned by North Korea and is the world's only ship in the U.S. Navy, which is in the hands of a foreign power.
The Pueblo was taken to the North Korean port of Wonsan. The crew was taken to prison camps, where abused and tortured by their own information. The treatment got worse when the North Koreans realized that later members of the crew staged propaganda photos on their guards behind their backs with the vilified in Germany as a middle finger gesture known. The photos were published by the North Koreans on the ground that the crew would overflow.
The USS Pueblo was first in the public Wŏnsan made available. In November 1998 North Korea was able to convert the ship well camouflaged on the sea around the Korean peninsula to the capital Pyongyang. She is now in the local port and is one of the biggest tourist attractions and propaganda of North Korea.
Bayern and I hang on the lips of the great sailor and nod studiously, the detective wrote down serial numbers of the American GPS.
Der Detektiv spricht mich an und ich will schon unter einem Excuse to run away, because I think he wants to tell me that the biscuits were actually made in China or something like that, but when I ask him about his travels, he replies that beauty is to travel its simplicity. At home we have mortgages, commitments, life feeds on one. When traveling is all manageable, fits in a backpack, you have solvable problems, eating, sleeping, visa, ticket.
discover on the way back we find that the shops are dark but not closed. Yvott, the South African fast, still for the souls of the North Koreans to save the stimulation and noise, which can not handle me, is another Day in North Korea to end.
