Korean people warmly welcomed us to Pyongyang. During the stay in the city we have got deep impressions from a lot of things.

The music hall of Pyongyang Kim Won Gyun Conservatory is equipped with all necessary facilities. I toured conservatories in Germany and Spain, but they are not as amazing as this conservatory.
