How do you do, too!

Women bow to a 65-foot-high bronze statue of Kim Il Sung, his arm extended to rally the masses, that "graces" downtown Pyongyang.

Bowing to images or statues of Kim Il Sung or his son, Kim Jong Il, reportedly often marks the start and end of each day in North Korea.

A bow and a bouquet of flowers for the Eternal Great Leader is an obligatory part of any foreigner's tour of Pyongyang as well. A respectful distance is de-rigueur as well. After all, the gaurds have machineguns!

(Wasn't it nice of Kim Jong-Il to send us a Christmas card Dec. 23rd!)
