Sledding Adventures in Snowy Pyongyang - A Day of Joy

The image shows four children sitting on sleds at the top of a snow-covered hill, ready to slide down. They are all smiling and bundled up in winter coats, with fur-lined hoods. The leftmost child is wearing a blue jacket, the second child a red jacket, and the two children on the right are wearing brown jackets. They are sitting on red sleds, with the snow visibly surrounding them. In the background, there are several people standing on the hill, dressed in uniform-like attire. The background also features trees and a building with a red banner, giving a nostalgic and slightly vintage feel to the scene.


Dear Ji-ho,

Today was a rare and wonderful day in Pyongyang—it snowed enough for sledding! You know how unusual that is here, so when the hills were finally covered in white, we grabbed whatever we could—sleds, old boards, even a piece of cardboard—and ran outside.

The kids had the time of their lives! They raced down the little hill, laughing so hard I thought they’d roll off their sleds. Every time they reached the bottom, they ran back up, eager for another ride. And, honestly? We parents had just as much fun watching them as they did sliding.

For a few hours, there were no worries—just pure joy, cold noses, and rosy cheeks. It felt like one of those perfect days that you wish could last forever. I wish you had been here to see it! Maybe next time, we’ll have enough snow again, and you can join us. Bring your best sled—or at least a sturdy piece of wood!

Sending warm hugs from a cold and happy Pyongyang,

Your sister, Min-ji
