Pyongyang amusement park enjoys brisk business


Situated opposite to the Arch of Triumph the amusement park is enjoying brisk business despite the summer heat in Pyongyang, capital of the Democratic People s Republic of Korea.The park was built in commemoration of the triumphant return of Kim Il Sung in the centre of the city, the amusement park opens from 19:00-24:00 in the evening. It operates nine pieces of large-scaled pleasure-seeking equipment imported from Italy, such as swinging pirate ship, roller coaster, high-speed up-down lift. It also has an electronics games hall for children to play simulated motorcycles, shooting skeet and playing other games. Among them, the 54-meter-high high-speed up-down lift is the
most popular as it enables players to enjoy not only the excitement but also the bird s-eye night view of Pyongyang City. However, the women in skirts are not allowed to take it.

Admission to the park is 20 wons for adults and half the rate for children. 1,400 wons are enough to play all the gadgets.

The park does not receive individuals. Applications for admission have to be filed in the collective names as units, school and residential quarters and a unified arrangement are made by the park.

A tourist guide said the park receives 5,000-6,000 visitors a day.

It was learned that DPRK President Kim Jong-il instructed all officials of the central government and Pyongyang city government, except the aged and those in poor health, to try all the facilities before the park opened to the public so as to ensure safety of the people.

Besides, the city transit department has extended subway s operation time at Kaeson station to midnight and the power department set up two dedicated power supply lines to ensure the park s daily operation.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra review

  Introduction Now that the Pro moniker has gone mainstream, it's Ultra that has come to represent the cream of the crop, and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra can wear that badge proudly. Limited to its home market last year, the ultimate Mi has gone global this time around, and we're happy to have it for review today. We're torn whether it's the camera system's physical appearance that is more striking or the hardware inside. A simply massive raised area on the back looks bolted on, almost after the fact, it's hard to miss, and it's a great conversation starter even if it's not everyone's cup of tea. But its size is warranted - the main camera packs the largest sensor used on a modern-day smartphone, and next to it - two more modules unmatched in their own fields, in one way or another. Oh, and yes, there's also a display here - because why not, but also because it can be useful. There's a lot more than 1.1 inches of ...

GK MCQs and facts

KNOWLEDGE Knowledge is a familiarity with someone or something, which can include information, facts, descriptions, and/or skills acquired through experience or education. It can refer to the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. It can be implicit (as with practical skill or expertise) or explicit (as with the theoretical understanding of a subject); and it can be more or less formal or systematic.In philosophy, the study of knowledge is called epistemology, and the philosopher Plato famously defined knowledge as "justified true belief." There is however no single agreed upon definition of knowledge, and there are numerous theories to explain it.  Knowledge acquisition involves complex cognitive processes: perception, learning, communication, association and reasoning; while knowledge is also said to be related to the capacity of acknowledgment in human beings. source : wiki Knowledge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A series of MCQs on GK  ...
