Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Myths about Riel hide the man
Louis Riel is known primarily through two historical events. The first is the 1870 formation of the Provisional Government of Manitoba and entry into Canadian Confederation.
The second is leading the Red River Resistance of 1885, one of the most significant armed conflicts between indigenous peoples and Canadian forces in history.
The story of Riel is most often framed in two ways: the inspirational and courageous "Founder of Manitoba" or the revolutionary freedom fighter tragically executed for his beliefs.
We know these well. Go ahead, mention Riel. Inevitably, words such as "hero," "statesman," "madman," "traitor" and "Father of Confederation" are used.
Riel is Superman. Riel is a monster. Riel is a victim.
I visited a high school where students were arguing that Riel is a tragic hero, as in Greek tragedies and Shakespeare. I liked the topic, but the comparison between a real-life human being and one-dimensional characters made me wonder.
But this is the way it's been, virtually since his death. The Riel we hear about obscures the fact that he was a complex person with dreams, imperfections and intricacies. The myths hide the man.
So this Louis Riel Day, keep it really Riel. Take some lesser-known parts of his life and consider how they enrich the story of one of Manitoba's legendary leaders.
For instance, Riel was almost Canada's first Métis priest. After years in the Red River settlement, he was sent to college in Montreal by his mother, who wished she was a nun.
While there, his father died. Then Riel scandalously tried to marry a Montreal woman named Marie Julie Guernon -- an engagement broken off by her parents. Four months before his ordination as a priest, Riel dropped out of school, worked as a law clerk and eventually returned home.
If he had finished his training, married Guernon or had not become disillusioned with his job, he might have stayed in Montreal and perhaps remained out of Manitoba's history.
Much has been made of Riel's meteoric political rise as a Métis, but less about his place in Métis history.
As today, the Métis of the 19th century were not a homogeneous group. From the nameless individuals who created a path for him, to others who did not share an exuberance for his positions, we know just about Riel, not the Métis.
Ever hear about Pierre Delorme and Jean Baptiste Wilkie, the Métis on the Council of Assiniboia who challenged Riel? As my colleague, Emma LaRocque, says: "Riel overshadows his own people."
In this vein, it's often forgotten that Riel's primary influences were the strong women who surrounded him. I've already mentioned his mother. There are others, particularly Métis women such as his sister, Sara.
There's a reason Riel considered the Métis nation a woman, death a seductress, and a pregnant Métis woman visited him in his final days.
Riel loved language. It's known he was a gifted poet, but the political documents he helped craft are literary masterpieces. Read the Declaration of the People of Rupert's Land and the North West. It rivals the United States Declaration of Independence. Every Manitoban should read it.
In fact, Riel's love of words endures. Mulling over the name of the new territory in an 1870 letter, he mused that it might be called "Assiniboia," "North West," or "Manitoba."
Assiniboia referred too much to the council of the same name, controlled by the Hudson's Bay Co. North West fit the best, in Riel's opinion, but as he wrote: "Fancy delights in that of 'Manitoba.' "
Others agreed. It still raises a question though: Would "Friendly North West" look good on licence plates?
Riel was not only a leader, but a widely known celebrity. For instance, check out this description in a June 1883 news article:
"He has a straight, large, prominent, well-shaped nose, and most expressive mouth. He has extraordinary self-possession, but when relating some stirring fact or exciting reminiscence, his eyes danced and glistened in a manner that riveted attention."
Before Trudeaumania, there was Rielmania.
There are other interesting discussion starters about the man. He became an American -- and a Republican -- during his southern exile. Returning to Canada, members of the clergy warned him about mixing religion and politics. There are parallels in the present.
Finally, there is Riel's unbridled optimism, his hope, belief in the arts and artists, his love of the land and children. He was deeply realistic but seemed to always look to the future and see beauty and possibility.
Even in his final poems, written in jail, he couldn't deny it. "Let us have peaceful hearts!" he wrote, "and the Infinite will open."
The best we can do is to give him the same.
Niigaanwewidam James Sinclair is a faculty member in the department of native studies at the University of Manitoba and the co-editor of Manitowapow: Aboriginal Writings from the Land of Water. His middle name is Riel.

Yesterday the Children's Library at the Central Library celebrated another successful Summer of Reading with ice cream sundaes, popsicles and jokes.
After enjoying the tasty treats we got to sharing laughs. Some of the jokes came from books and others were kid creations. Here's a smattering of jokes the kids found hilarious:
Knock knock. Who's there? Fire alarm. Fire alarm who? Don't touch the fire.
How do aliens stay in touch with their friends? Spacebook.
Knock knock. Who's there? Interrupting cow. Interrupting...Moo
Knock knock. Who's there? Johnny. Johnny who? Johnny Bravo.
I had the pleasure of meeting Ian and his younger sister Julia at the Decker Branch Library this summer. Both avid readers, Ian and Julia enthusiastically participated in the Denver Public Library's Summer of Reading program by excelling in their reading as well as attending craft events at the Decker Library. Ian and Julia are truly wonderful to have as regular customers at Decker, as they routinely help other children at craft events and even offer to help clean up after we've finished our craft projects. Not only are they devoted readers, Ian and Julia are wonderful customers, and it always brightens my day to see them at Decker.
In this photo, Ian and Julia are showcasing the buttons they made as part of a craft activity at Decker. They were thrilled to make their own buttons and loved looking for books after we finished our craft. They're pictured here near the Decker Library's fireplace with some of our cuddly friends that hang out in the children's section. Thank you, Ian and Julia, for helping to make our summer so much more fun!
Story submitted by Natalie, Librarian at the Decker Branch Library.

Special Lunch Recipes from your cat!
I came across the title Never Let Your Cat Make Lunch for You by Lee Harris on the Kids' 100 Best Loved Books for Children page. I couldn't resist … I had to check it out!
What a cute little book and I even learned a few things. You can let your cat make breakfast for you, but beware they might eat your bacon! When it comes to making you oatmeal, well, they love that milk!
Now that we are halfway through summer, are you looking for some great new books to read? Here are some new favorites from staff across the Denver Public Library system that you can use to fill up your Summer of Reading folder!
Younger Readers:
Jasper John Dooley: Left Behind by Caroline Adderson. When Jasper's beloved Nan leaves for a week-long cruise, he has no idea what he will do to fill the long days until she returns. Every day she is gone, another adventure appears, until Jasper has many stories he can tell Nan when she comes home. This is the second book in the Jasper John Dooley series. Recommended by Carol, Children's and Family Manager.
Today is the Summer Solstice, or the first official day of summer and the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere.
As the earth revolves around the sun, the north pole is tilted toward the sun half the year and the south pole is tilted toward the sun the other half. Today is the day with the longest period of daylight because the sun takes its longest path through the sky. In the Northern Hemisphere the summer solstice always falls on June 20th, 21st or 22nd.
The winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, takes place between December 21st and December 23rd. This occurs when the north pole is at maximum tilt away from the sun.
Do you have something fun planned for Father's Day this year? How about sharing a book with dad? This special day is a great reminder of the importance dads play in their children's literacy development.
Children learn by watching and imitating. Be a positive male role model for the kids in your life by reading and sharing stories. This shows children that you think reading is valuable, achievable, and, most importantly, fun!
Looking for ways to share your enthusiasm for literacy beyond books? Check out the wonderful ideas from the folks at Reading Rockets, such as reciting nursery rhymes, singing songs, playing games with letters or words, and telling stories about your childhood.
Do you like to… be creative? Be inspired by stories from around the world? Learn new words in Spanish? Try traditional foods?
I want to invite you, your family and your friends to our awesome ART SATURDAY program at Byers Branch Library on Saturday, June 15 from 2–4 p.m.
Surrounded by theaters, art galleries and museums, recording studios, antique shops, unique restaurants, and much more, Byers Branch Library is located in the heart of the Art District on Santa Fe.
Come kick-it with Mr. Warren and other readers who like fun books and snacks.

Meetings will be held in the Children's Library at the Central Library.
Did you know that singing is a good way for children to learn and practice their language skills, literacy skills, and build a stronger vocabulary? When you sing, language slows down, making it easier for children to hear the different sounds that make up words.
If you don't think you have the voice to be the next American Idol or if you don't have a big enough repertoire to sing with your children at home, join us for our next Bilingual Sing-Along with Mr. Chufo where you'll learn songs in English & Spanish. Your children won't care if you can't keep a tune. They just want to have fun singing with you. Our next Sing-Along is happening this Saturday, June 1 at 2 p.m. at the Central Library in the Children's Pavilion. Come and check it out!

Carole Bartolotto: The problem with concluding that GMOs are safe is that the argument for their safety rests solely on animal studies. These studies are offered as evidence that the debate over GMOs is over. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Margo McCall: There's increasing evidence that adopting a plant-based diet is better for human health, the planet, and of course for the more than 9 billion animals that are killed for consumption each year in the U.S alone.
Joe Mathews: Thanks to Xi Jinping, Chinese millionaires have propped up the state's sagging real estate market, universities, and companies.

Great plugin with all options included!
Thank you!
This plugin is great and vibes nicely with our theme and branding. Customer support is amazing especially Vova who has been able to effectively resolve our minor issue(s). Considering purchasing the pro edition - Great work!
Great plugin, easy to use.
Tried the free version for a couple days and loved it and instantly upgraded. Had a couple questions and the support was fast! Seems to really care about the customers and really for low price a year not that hard of a decision to jump up to the paid version.
This plugin is extremely flexible and easy to use.
Also, their customer service is the fastest I have ever seen and incredibly useful.
I was on a deadline and it was Friday night and these guys helped me with some customization.
Hard to beat!
Saas-hosted ratings with great support, and the schema rich snippets are worth it in the Pro version.
Including the rating starts anywhere in a post or page is also possible via shortcode. I hope they please include a sample shortcode in the WP Admin/Settings/Ratings Widget in the next update to make it easier to find.
Congrats Vova! Please stay in business!!

This plugin could be awesome, but the idea behind it makes it fail.
Well-coded, very customizable, SEO-friendly with Schema.org - however there is one big problem: As a plugin user, you lose the rights to do anything you want with your content. All ratings are stored on a server run by the business behind this plugin - instead of storing them in your own WordPress database. Imagine the business fails or something else could happen - you would lose all your ratings as you would have no way importing them into another rating plugin. They have the power to do what they want with it. While this is basically the way to go for today's social networks, I am completely against this approach in terms of WordPress.
In my opinion it is perfectly fine to provide commercial plugins for WordPress, and it is also fine to regularly check the user's license. But practically owning the user's website's data (or parts of it) is a no-go. That's why I can only give this plugin a single star.
This is a great plugin, but the reason I gave 4 stars is that it has sometimes not been working consistently, for about a week. The support people helped. I felt confident it would be working again. It turned out to be a caching issue which appears to be resolved. I expect it to continue working in the future, just as it has in the past.
We use this plugin our wp news site. Easy, fast and nice desing. And the support is AMAZING :)
They are collecting your data and hosting it on their server.

Guest commentary: Foreclosures, from a lender's point of view
The foreclosure crisis has been with us for a few years now, with people losing their homes in ever-increasing numbers. Many of the foreclosures that have taken place are due to job loss, but increasingly we are seeing homeowners abandoning their properties for other reasons, and these actions are compounding the problem of far too many empty homes being neglected. In addition, people think that because they are leaving their properties there is no longer any need to pay their real estate taxes on the basis that "well, we don't live there any longer." This is a false hypothesis. The counties need to collect the property taxes to be able to fund the services they provide.
Unfortunately we are hearing in the media that people are "under water" with their loans, meaning that their homes in many cases are worth less than the amount of their principal mortgage balance and that is a good reason to walk away from their property. I say this is NOT a reason for stopping mortgage payments. Think about this for a minute. Let's say a homeowner has a 30-year mortgage which was taken out in the height of the property market in 2005 and at that time the property was worth, say, $500,000, and the loan was for $400,000. Today the property might be "worth" $300,000, and the principal loan balance is now $397,000 so technically it is under water to the tune of $97,000. So what? As long as the homeowner has no need to move, keep on making the mortgage payment. Long before the mortgage is paid off it is almost certain that property values will rise once again, even if it takes five to 10 years. Also your credit rating will remain intact and you have to live somewhere.
If, however, you have no other choice but to stop making your payments, my advice would be to surrender the property or turn it back to the lender by way of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. This way you will probably not have any sort of judgment against you and your credit might remain intact. Ignoring your lender and hanging onto the property for months or even years before foreclosure takes place is a huge mistake. This act will almost certainly damage your credit rating and may even lead to a substantial judgment against you.
The court system in most counties in Florida is extremely backed up when it comes to dealing with foreclosures, and in some areas it is taking 16 to 18 months to obtain a foreclosure sale. There are some homeowners who are taking advantage of this delay and living in their homes free of expenses, except utilities. This on the surface might appear attractive to some but in the end it will come back to haunt them as most lenders will eventually obtain a judgment and the homeowner will still owe the lender money, the difference between the eventual sale price of the property after foreclosure and the amount of the loan balance plus unpaid interest, penalties, legal fees and court costs. Not a wise move.
Finally, let me address the question of how some borrowers are treating their homes. In some cases homeowners who are in the foreclosure process are removing fixtures from the home, such as kitchen cabinets and appliances and air conditioning equipment. Others have been known to willfully damage their homes before departing by smashing entire kitchens, doors and even breaking tiled floors. It really serves no purpose to take their frustrations out on the banks/lenders and could lead to criminal prosecution.
Adler is a private mortgage lender. He has been in the real estate industry in various aspects for 40 years. He was born in London, emigrated to the United States 27 years ago and has been a citizen for 12 years.

Koryo Museum
This large complex of buildings (currently nearly 20) originally dates from 992 when the site housed the Taemyon Palace which later became an imperial guesthouse and then the Bureau for Confucian Doctrines. In 1089 it became 'the Kakjagam' or highest centre of learning in Kaesong for those seeking to enter the civil service. Children of the aristocracy attended this centre of Confucian learning throughout the Koryo period and the subsequent Ri period which ended in the late 19th century.
The Kakjagam was renamed the Songyungwan Academy in 1308 but was brunt down during the failed Japanese Invasion of 1592 –the Imjin War. Thus, Kim Il-sung wasn't the first Korean to have to deal with a Japanese Invasion. The Academy was rebuilt in 1602 and since 1987 it has been the site of the Koryo museum.
In addition the admiring the beautiful Confucian buildings set in tranquil grounds containing two 500 year old Ginkgo trees and a 900 year old Zelkova tree, all of which miraculously escaped destruction during the 1950-1953 Korean War, the museum houses a modest, but interesting, array of pottery, iron work and other archaeological finds and relics from the Koryo period, in addition to charting the history and evolution of Kaesong itself.
Also here is a reconstruction of the interior King Kongmin's tomb which we had visited (exterior only open) earlier in the morning.
While the museum principally covers the period prior to Japan's occupation of the country in 1910, the curators clearly could not resist the inclusion of a few more modern exhibits. My final photograph is of an early 1900's Japanese chart showing the monetary value placed on Korean men, women, children and oxen. I selected this chart to show you rather than a more unsavoury painting of marauding Japanese slaughtering innocent Koreans.
We were guided through the museum by a local guide – a rather dour and uninspiring one, if I were to be honest. Nonetheless an interesting place to visit, if only for the old buildings - though there is more to the museum than the buildings. It is a welcome break from the "Kim Il-sung trail'.
Next review
Having explored the museum and its delightful grounds, there are a couple of shopping opportunities at the museum worthy a look.

Tomb of King Kongmin
Although North Korea is an ancient country with roots going back 4000 years tourists have very little opportunity to see or hear about anything pre-dating the Japanese occupation of the country in the late 19th century. Visits to North Korea focus on the iconography of the modern age, monuments and museums perpetuating the cult of personality of the Kim Dynasty which only dates from 1945, with the ending of Japanese occupation of the peninsula.
There were a small number of exceptions to this 'Kim Dynasty focus' on our trip and one was a visit to the Tomb of King Kongmin (more formally the Hyonjongrung Royal Tomb) about 13kms outside Kaesong. The Tomb of King Kongmin, together with a number of other Koryo period relics in North Korea, received a joint UNESCO World Heritage site listing in 2013.
After a pleasant bus ride from Kaesong along winding rural roads surrounded by recently planted rice paddies we reached the tombs of King Kongmin and his good lady wife, Mongolian princess, Queen Noguk, perched on a hillside affording splendid views of Oh My mountain in the distance and into the valley below.
Prior to telling you about the tombs themselves let me digress slightly and tell you a story related to the selection of the King's future burial spot, the unfortunate chap who proposed it and the naming of the mountain opposite as Oh My.
King Kongmin was having great difficulty finding a suitable location for his tomb and having finally got fed up with his advisers (in one version he had them all killed) failure to locate a suitable site he, out of frustration, struck the ultimate make or break deal with the young hopeful who recommended the very spot where the king now lies.
When the young hopeful found the spot Kongmin decided to climb the mountain opposite to inspect it. Before doing so, he told his soldiers that if he was unhappy with the proposed spot he would wave a white cloth at which point they should behead the young man. Having reached the top of the mountain he was delighted with chosen spot, but it had been an arduous climb and he took out a cloth to wipe the sweat from his brow. Misinterpreting this as the agreed signal to remove the young man's head, the soldiers duly did so. When the king returned to bestow riches on the young man he found him headless. 'Oh My!' he said and thus the mountain became Oh My.
Enough, back to the King and the tombs.
Kongmin was the 31st and one of that last Koryo kings and reigned from 1352 to 1374 (the Koryo period lasted from 918 to 1392).
Following the death of this wife in 1365, King Kongmin designed and had built, in the mound style typical of the era, two beautifully carved granite faced tombs, one for his wife (on the right as your approach the tombs from below) and the other for himself.
On each side of the tombs are 3.3 metre high granite statues of two civil Confucian officials and, on a slightly lower level, two military officers. The civil officials were positioned closer the tomb to advise the king while the military officers are further out and thus better positioned to fend off an attack on the King.
Also scattered around the tomb area are statues of lions (symbol of the king) and sheep (symbol of his Mongolian wife).
Next review
The interiors of the tombs were plundered by the Japanese during their occupation of Korea. While much was lost, some relics were saved, including King Kongmin's coffin. The items saved now form part of the collection at the Koryo Museum in Kaesong, our next stop.

Other extra curriculum activity
Not all children make it to the Students and Childrens' Palace for its wide range of fun extra curriculum activities. Many, the non-elite, are forced engage in less fun extra curriculum activities (assuming they go to school at all). For city children this frequently appears to mean sweeping the streets and other public areas. While these children, tidying up around Kim Il-sung's statue on Mount Janam seemed perfectly happy to engage with us and have their photos taken it wasn't long until we were told by our guide to desist from taking photos of the kids (clearly from less well to do families) as we were frightening and upsetting them!
As a general rule you are not permitted to take photographs of anything that could paint North Korea in a poor light.
Image and perception are important in North Korea and while they try hard to protect their image they are also quick to jump on anything which tarnishes the image of their number one enemy, the United States. This leads to some rather crazy situations one of which, related to what has become a de facto dress code for visiting the Demilitarised Zone (along the border with South Korea), I will relate here.
While we could wear anything we liked when we visited the DMZ, visitors from the south are required to be smartly dressed and, in particular, no ripped jeans, torn t-shirts and the like are permitted.
You would have imagined it would have been the other way round and, as such, the reason for this dress code for southern visitors may surprise you.
Apparently when more casual attire was permitted the North Korean soldiers would photograph visitors in their ripped jeans and torn t-shorts and broadcast the images within North Korea as evidence of the impoverished state existing in the US, and outside North Korea generally, such that people were destitute and could not even afford basic clothes.
I trust, dear reader, that you will not assume, based on my pictures here that all children in North Korea sweep the street. Most assuredly some do not!

With the evening drawing to a close we made our way, on foot, down Tongli Street past the Namdae Gate, the old south city gate rebuilt after the Korean War (to dark for photos), to our hotel –the Kaesong Folk Custom Hotel.
Kaesong Students and Childrens' Palace
The most noticeable building in Kaesong and one we had a great view off from the Kwandok Pavilion on Mount Janam is the Kaesong Students and Childrens' Palace, a smaller version of the Mansudae Children's Palace in Pyongyang though here in a more traditional Korean architectural style. It opened in 1961.
Children's Palaces, found throughout North Korea, are not Palaces in the western sense but rather complexes offering a wide of extra curriculum activities to children. These activities concentrate on sports, music, the arts and culture. While theoretically open to all children, and we were told about 3000 attended this one in Kaesong, in practice they are restricted to the children of the elite and party faithful.
I have written an extensive review on the Mansudae Children's Palace in Pyongyang and encourage you to have a look at that for further detail as the concept, ethos, etc of all childrens' palaces are the same.

While passing by the Great Leader's statue again on out way down to our hotel we came across some children engaged in another important extra curriculum activity. Continue with me for a look.

Kaesong Old Town
Kaesong has a very long history and has the best preserved old town area in North Korea. While most of North Korea was razed to the ground by US bombing during the Korean War, Kaesong was spared by virtue of the fact that, until it was captured by the North Koreans, it had been on the South Korean side of the border - the 38th parallel north- as determined by Russia and the United States at the end of WWII. It is the only town that changed hands in the three year long war which cost the lives of nearly three million people.
While predating 918, Kaesong was the capital of the Koryo kingdom from 918-1392, after which the capital was moved to present-day Seoul (now the capital of South Korea) only 80 kilometres to the south, but accessible today to the average visitor only via Beijing.
Kaesong has a very extensive old town area dating from the post Koryo, Ri dynasty period which, unfortunately, is (with one exception) not accessible to visitors.
So, while the Kwandok Pavilion is pleasant enough in itself the main reason for visiting it is for the view of the old town, brimming with traditional Ri dynasty (post 1392 to Japanese occupation in 1910) single story housing. The town layout, which presumably dates from later rather than earlier in the Ri dynasty period, looks very similar to that of similar era towns in neighbouring China with their very narrow streets, walls separating small clusters/compounds of houses and outdated facilities. Looking closely (using my camera zoom), while indeed brimming with traditional Korean houses they unfortunately appear to be in varying stages of decay (picture 5).
It is a great shame that a visit into the streets of the old town is not possible. I suspect that, charming as it looks from the Kwandok Pavillion, the poverty and squalor within the old area is more than the powers that be wish to share with visitors.
The exception that I referred to above is the Kaesong Folk Custom Hotel were we stayed. This comprises a block of the old town converted to accommodation for visitors which, I suspect, is totally unrepresentative of the remainder of the old town as it stands today.

The substantial building to the rear of the old town area (picture 3) is the Kaesong Students and Childrens' Palace.

Kwandok Pavilion
Perched on the side of Mount Janam, about 100 metres walk from the large bronze statue of Kim Il-sung, is Kwandok Pavilion. The original pavilion was constructed in 1780 for archery contests. It was destroyed in 1950 by US bombing in the early days of the Korean War. The existing structure is a 1954 reconstruction.
In feudal times, in addition to being the outdoor manly sport of choice, archery was essential for national safety in times of war and to ensure a ready and competent supply of archers nobles encouraged on going practice by hosting competitions at pavilions such as this. Prizes were from the public purse.
There are a number of other (much more) important historic sites in this area on Mount Janam which we did not have time to visit as it was now starting to get dark and we had to walk down (briskly before it got dark) to our hotel on the perimeter of the old town.
Next review
While the pavilion itself did not overly excite me (reconstructions rarely do) the best view of Kaesong's old town, for photography, came from here, at the Pavilion.

Tongil Street
Turning your back on the Great Leader is hard to do, but do it you must in this case.
The view down Tongil (Reunification) Street is the most photographed in Kaesong and one of the best recognised vistas in North Korea.
Everyone tries to get a picture of this four-lane highway, which cuts through the centre of Kaesong, with no vehicles on it and if they are lucky the picture will include a traffic policeman directing this non-existent traffic – a classic image of North Korea in many people's minds, and reasonably so.
Alas, there are three vehicles in my main photo and no one seems to be directing them, somewhat extraordinary in a country that takes its traffic control so seriously.
What can be seen from my photos is that, in Kaesong, the people are the traffic in the city.
Presumably the explanation that our guide gave me for the four-lane, in each direction, and almost equally car-less Reunification Highway between Pyongyang and Kaesong also applies here. That is, it will be needed when the country is reunited, soon.
Putting this optimism aside, apart from the 'need' to have a grand avenue lead up to the stature of Kim Il-sung (from which I took the photographs) I see no transport logic for it. It comes to an end at the foot of Songak Mountain, in the distance, where the Reunification Highway connects with it. If the slopes at either end were not as steep as they are I would have suggested it was an airstrip in the centre of town. Indeed, it might actually be capable of being used as one in the event of an outbreak of hostilities in the near by Demilitarised Zone.
What you can't appreciate from the photographs is the thunderous loudspeaker broadcast which we had to endure for about ten minutes, breaking the more regular silence of the city. Our guide assured us that it was the evening news being broadcast for the benefit of the people. A member of another tour group, who could speak Korean, told us that the people were being reminded that there were foreign visitors in town (us!) and they needed to be on their best behavior. I can't vouch either story.

Having admired the view we took a short walk to the Kwandok Pavilion, just off to the right looking towards the city centre from the Great Leader's statue.

Kim Il-sung watching from on high
No city in North Korea is complete without its bronze statue of the Great Leader, Kim Il-Sung, placed on the top of a hill for everybody to see. So naturally there is one here in Kaesong on Mount Janam at the end of the grand boulevard that is Tongil Street. Clearly Kim Il-sung did not share the same modesty of his son who banned statues, etc of him being erected while he was alive. This statue of Kim Il-sung was erected in 1968.
For the benefit of readers who have not read my Pyongyang page or do not otherwise know, people come to these statues basically to worship the former (though Eternal) Leader as if he were a god. You will see them come in their finest attire and bearing flowers. Having laid the flowers at the foot of the statue they will bow – from the waist. Tourists visiting the statues (which you will do on arrival into any new town) must show their respects in the same way as locals. So, having paid our respects we were free to have a look around and take photographs.
It is surprising, given the size of Kaesong (over 200,000) and its importance, that the Great Leader has not yet been joined by his son, the Dear Leader, Kim Jong-il on the dais. I imagine there is a limit to how many of these statues, which reputedly each take around a year to make, the Mansudae Art Studio in Pyongyang can produce. I guess Kaesong has to wait as Pyongyang gets first call and there was certainly a massive demand for statues, murals and other adulatory works of art in the run up to Kim Il-sung's 100th birthday celebrations in 2012. On our way out of North Korea via Sinuiju in the north, I learned that the reason we could not see the Great Leader there was that the Dear Leader was in the process of being added. Perhaps Kaesong will be next.
In the meantime, Kim Il-sung watches over his people, alone.
My first and last photos attached were taken from the grounds of our hotel – the Folk Custom Hotel - in the old part of town. The first one is an early morning shot while the last one is obviously taken at night when the rest of the city would have been in pretty much total darkness. Unlike in Pyongyang, where they have some lights at night, we did not get out into Kaesong after dark to check out the power situation.

Having sufficiently admired the stature, we turned around to take in what is perhaps the most famous street scene in North Korea – Tongil Street.

Enjoy your bus trip to Kaesong
Approximately half our tour group spent the morning of our second day in North Korea running some part of the Pyongyang Marathon. The rest of us watched the start and finish of the run and two soccer matches in the Kim Il-sung Stadium.
It was a relief, especially to those who ran, to hear that, rather than a packed afternoon's sightseeing in Pyongyang, we would be going down to Kaesong where we would spend the night and have a look at a few sights there prior to our trip to Panmunjom and the Demilitarized Zone, on the border with South Korea. the following day.
Kaesong is about 10 kms from the border and the trip from Pyongyang, by bus, took us approximately three hours.
I have given a full account of my trip down the Reunification Highway on my Panmunjom page. Also on that page I have provided details on an al fresco 'comfort stop' we had en route.
Rather than repeat identical information here I invite you to read the following two reviews on my Panmunjom page. Do return here having done so!

My second picture, attached, is of the Reunification Monument, our first stop on the outskirts of Pyongyang. Further details on this amazing piece of work can be found on my Pyongyang page.

After a pleasant, if a little bumpy, trip we arrived into Kaesong just before dusk and, first up, made our way to the massive statue of Kim Il-sung which sits on Mount Janam, high up above the town, looking down on it. Do come up for a look.

Hyonjongrung Royal Tomb (King Kongmin)
There was a delay on our journey back form the Concrete wall near the DMZ. A loud 'bang' from under the bus, followed by unpleasant grinding noises. We stopped for an hour as curious local came through the fields to peer at the tourists. We observed ingenuity at work as the bu' suspension was fixed inside an hour with what seemed no more than a large rubber band!
On to one of the Royal tombs of the Koryo dynasty, outside Kaesong city (we made a run through the backstreets). The road winds through steep hilly country, past the mounds of other tombs to a carpark at the base of the ceremonial steps to the two adjacent mounds where King Kongmin and his wife are interred. Stone statues of State Civil Officials line the path, and the toms themselves are guarded by grinning tigers and smiling sheep.

Nandemon Bell Tower
Most of the people may think Nandemon can only found in South Korea, actually there is one in Kaesong North Korea.
In Nandemon, one of the most famous buildings is this Ancient Bell Tower. This is one of the famous bell towers in North Korea.
The bell was kept in one of the old temper in Kaesong, in 1563, the temper was burnt in fire, so they move the bell to Nandemon and built a Bell Tower.

The places I would definitely visit is local village. Here is one of the villages I've chosen near by Kaesong city.
As you can see, the house is made of wood, with very think concrete. Very old design, oldies but goodies.
I was told that usually few families share a small piece of farm land for cultivation. The farm land that I visited was almost empty.
Perhaps in another few weeks, the leaves of potato or sweet corn will comes out?

The Grand General Hall
Some call this Grand General Hall as The Cultural Central or The Cultural Hall, but it really depends on the guide book.
There is a cultural food court inside where can fit more than 500 people.
When there are tourists visiting to this hall, they may have traffic control for the local people, that's why we can meet no one local here.

the ER dr's tested me for a bladder infection, among other things and everything came back normal
Now, today, I've been in some pretty bad pain near my cervix area. It's a constant sharp pain that doesn't go away. My hubby wants me to call the dr, but there's nothing else they can do. I have to wait 6 more weeks until the baby's considered viable outside the womb.
1st last night (friday night) it hurt to lay flat on my back down by my pelvic area (cervix). It also hurt to sit up straight. This morning when I woke up, it started to hurt when I walked. Now it hurts no matter what and the pain's getting worse.
Would a broken blood vessel cause THIS much pain, and that much blood?

Well how would they know that unless they knew the communications community of that person? So that means youre getting back to this program where theyre pulling all the records of phone calls and emails and everything together and seeing who that person worked with. And on top of that it gave them the ability to pull together the entire tea party. So you would know everybody thats involved in the tea party, peripherally or centrally.

My concern would be mission creep, where the spying in addition to targeting potential terrorists, are targeting opponents to the political status quo.
Your link implies Muslums are targeted.
Currently any such abuse is limited so for the most part the media and people simply shrug it off
