Dear Uncle Boris,
I finally experienced my first drive-in movie theater! Well… almost. Instead of cars, we have bicycles. That’s right—rows of bikes neatly parked beside our chairs, as if our glorious movie experience depended on good pedal alignment.
Tonight’s movie was a North Korean version of Gone with the Wind. The original is banned, obviously, but I think we got the plot right—except, in this one, the brave heroine stays behind to work in agriculture instead of running off to chase some rich capitalist. Also, there was a lot of dramatic speeches about self-reliance. I think the original had more kissing? Hard to say.
Now, let’s talk about the real challenge—watching a three-hour movie outside in winter! Halfway through, my toes lost feeling. By the final act, I was using my bike as a makeshift blanket. Some guy near me even tried pedaling in place to stay warm—innovative, but his chair fell over.
All in all, it was a great night! Cold, slightly uncomfortable, historically reimagined, but great. If I ever visit you, will you take me to a real drive-in? One with cars, heaters, and less bicycles?
Your freezing but dedicated nephew,
Joon-ho
