Dear Claudine,
Bonjour from Pyongyang! Today is such a beautiful day—the sun is shining, the sky is clear, and the streets are filled with color and joy. We are celebrating the New Year with a parade, and it feels like the whole city has come alive.
I am so proud because my little girl is part of the parade! She’s carrying a colorful flag and smiling so brightly. It’s moments like these that make my heart feel so full. My husband and I are standing here together, watching her with so much pride and happiness. It’s truly a perfect day.
I wish you could see this celebration—it’s filled with laughter, music, and the energy of all the children. Do you have similar parades in France? I would love to hear about how you celebrate the New Year there. Write back soon and tell me all about it!
Wishing you a wonderful start to the year,
Mi-ran πππ
