Missed the Parade

So of course now that I could get a grade for going to the Chinatown parade I don't go.
Instead I did absolutely nothing regarding Chinese today. I did however try to watch something relating to Korea today. There's a documentary I watched in my Korean history class called "Dear Pyongyang" by Yonghi Yang. It's about a family that was separated due to the father sending his three sons to North Korea in the 70s. There was heavy propaganda in Japan painting North Korea as a prospering place in an attempt to wipe out the Korean-Japanese population living in Korea. It's supposed to be about the father and the daughter trying to understand why he decided to split up the family and his continued loyalty to the government that let him down, but I was more influenced by the video of life inside North Korea. It seemed like Chicago during the summer some weeks, when it seems everyone decided to leave town at the same time. It looked like half the population was missing. I think that's because the square was so large and and the buildings so tall but very few people outside. It was a really interesting documentary. I wanted to watch it again today but I couldn't find a reliable site to download it from. There's supposed to be a sequel called "Goodbye Pyongyang" but I haven't found a version with English subtitles yet.
