Thanks to WillyWop for sending me this link: Defector's Drawings Offer Rare Look at Brutal Life inside North Korean Concentration Camps
Very horrible.
Which prompts me to give China the evil eye again. You knew what you were sending these people to and you did it anyway!! SHAME ON YOU
North Korea has publicly executed four refugees who were repatriated by China and sent 40 others to its notorious prison camps, a South Korean activist said yesterday.
China has repatriated 44 fugitives from its communist neighbour in recent months, said Kim Heung-Kwang, who heads NK Intellectuals Solidarity, a Seoul-based defectors’ group.
Four of them were executed and 40 sent to camps for political prisoners, he told a seminar. South Korean rights groups say there are six political prison camps in the North holding around 200,000 detainees. Kim said he had obtained his information from a source inside the North, but gave no details. AFP
Look, I can make up words too. Why, why, why haven't I been posting? Probably because everyday it would be like: I'm not getting as much studying and reading in as I would like, but I did go out for a drink with _______ and it was super fun.
I think all the fun might be catching up with me. I'm feeling a little tired and congested. Oh well.
Top 5 things that are going on with me
1) Ballet has been AWESOME. The leader of the company has taken over for our regular teachers who are on vacation. No wonder she has such an amazing dance company... her eye for dance and her teaching style is just fantastic. Additionally, I've been so sore this week I can barely walk.
2) I have actually been watching most of the NBA games. What is going on with me that I am willing to watch sports??
3) I have upped my Turkish studies by getting a language partner. I help him with English, he helps me with Turkish. It's great because he actually makes me speak in Turkish. A great lunch-break pursuit. It doesn't hurt that he looks like this either:
Ok, so he has his clothes ON when I see him, but he does like to put lots of photos of himself in facebook. bahahaha, what a peacock!
4) To celebrate my 2 month anniversary of the eye surgery, I donated my 2 pairs of glasses
and had a cocktail
5) Ed was in from out-of-town last night so he, Tara and I (ex-flowershop friends) went out.
... and I had a breakthrough! We eventually ended up at the gay bar and I finally attracted a lesbian! You may or may not know this, but having never been 'hit on' by a woman has been weighing on my self-esteem for years. She was a big and beautiful black woman with a fantastic weave. She asked me what I was drinking, touched my breast AND told me that I had a great ass. I am SO HAPPY. Finally I was able to attract a woman! Mission accomplished.
Scratch that off the bucket list.
