Yesterday was the Day of the Sun

How did *you* celebrate? With a performance of "Our Leader is Always With
Women", or just by quietly singing "We Will Hold Our General in High
Esteem"?

Here's how the Koreans did it...

"Pyongyang, April 13 (KCNA) - An increasing number of people are visiting
Mangyongdae with boundless reverence for the peerlessly great man President
Kim Il Sung on the threshold of his birth anniversary.

of the President's revolutionary family, a paragon of the patriotic and
revolutionary families.

Conspicuous among them are a low desk and an ink-stone."
