British Tourists Admire Artistic Performance "Arirang"

Pyongyang, September 16 (KCNA) -- British tourists were interviewed by KCNA on Wednesday after enjoying the grand gymnastic and artistic performance "Arirang" in Pyongyang.

Simon Cockerell, 34, said "Arirang" was a very admirable and excellent work.

"I think it keeps improving every year, there are new scenes added, and existing scenes improved. I think the most impressive part of the performance is the part where two Koreas are unified," he said.

Ian Guttridge, 47, said:

"It's been my second time. Well, the first time I was just struck by the number of the people. And next time I was able to pay attention to more of the detail, and just how practiced and rehearsed the children in the background were, and how that was linked up with the performance on the main field.

It's hard to pick out one piece of the performance, because all of it was so good. We've learned a lot about the Juche idea, but I think when the torch was lit, the Juche idea torch was lit right at the beginning and brought the show alive that was good for me."
