Buffet car in train to Pyongyang
North Korea picture - It seems that beer was not on offer although I did see quite a few bottles stashed away in a corner of the car, but there were a couple bottles of soju, which tended to taste like quite strong Japanese sake. But didn't taste very nice. It would have made ideal paint stripper! The left-hand portrait is of Kim Il Sung who died in 1994 (although he is still officially president!). The right is his son, Kim Jong Il, who is the current ruler. Here, our Irish friend, Liam, is trying to negotiate obtaining stocks of alcohol!
