The image depicts a group of children jumping into a body of water from a stone ledge. The children, dressed in colorful swimsuits, are captured mid-air, showcasing varying postures of excitement. The water below reflects a serene blue-green hue. In the backdrop, a parade of uniformed individuals is aligned in rows, adding contrast to the playful scene in the foreground. Beyond them, a cityscape with high-rise buildings is visible under a clear sky, blending into the horizon. The image has a vintage filter, giving it an aged, nostalgic appearance.

Dear Isabel,

Hello from Pyongyang! Today was the last day of summer, and it was so warm. Look at this photo—we spent the whole afternoon jumping off the bridge into the river. It felt like flying! Everyone was laughing and splashing, trying to soak up every last bit of fun before school starts again tomorrow.

Do you swim in rivers like this where you live? I wish you could come here someday. We’d jump together and race to the shore. What’s your favorite thing to do in summer? Write me back soon—I can’t wait to hear all about it!

Your friend,
Soo-jin
