[KS] Re: north korea/polish documentary

[kim hyung-a]

Greetings from Down Under!
Your description of this film sounds marvellous and I sincerely hope you do
track it down successfully. When and if you do, would you please let me
have an info about it? I also love to have a look. In fact, I am about to
leave for the US to lead my students, all 15, for the Janterm Travelling
course to South & North Korea and China starting from 6 Jan. 


Have a wonderful holiday and the Happy New Year 2000.
