One of my guides during the trip. People usually assume travelling in North Korea entails having minders with you that control everything you do and are generally nasty people. My guides were actually genuinely nice people who spoke freely about everything.

I had a long transit in Singapore, so I jumped on the free 2 hour tour into the city. The first hour was waiting for the group to assemble and to get through security with special visas. Once on the bus we were served a lot of stuff that sounded suspiciously like good old propaganda. But the guide slipped once, which was a good one.
Driving past the university being told how fantastic, great and awesome it is -
Tourist lady: Is it free to study?
Guide: Nothing in Singapore is free! Only free bus tour!
Every year, the open air museum just outside of the small Danish town of Holbaek is transformed. Over the course of the day the Nazi's invade Denmark, the small open air museum/town undergoes years of occupation, and then eventually is liberated just before sunset.
All of the actors are incredible. The experience is immersive and leaves you with goose bumps. You have aircraft flying over head, the sound of machine gun fire, minorities being rounded up, SS officers marching in the streets.
To make the day even more meaningful, I was joined by a Danish friend and his grandmother who is 90. In her late teens during the invasion, she shared with me stories of the occupation as I picked her brain (through my friend as I don't speak Danish and she doesn't speak English).
Afterwards we retired to his Great Aunt's house where they shared additional stories and pulled out old ration cards, shared my friend's father's resistance armband, and chatted with me about how Denmark has changed since they were children.

Our very friendly Bedouin Guide.
The Bedouin, (from the Arabic badawī (بدوي), pl. badū), are a predominantly desert-dwelling Arab ethnic group (previously nomadic, presently mostly settled) found throughout most of the desert belt extending from the Atlantic coast of the Sahara via the Western Desert, Sinai, and Negev to the Arabian Desert.source

Guide at the three - Revolution Exhibition museum in Pyongyang
The exhibition shows the achievements of the people who are carrying out the Three Revolutions of ideology, technology and culture. It is situated in Ryonmot-dong area, Sosong district, Pyongyang.
It is North Korea's answer to the America's Epcot Centre. The sprawling complex details the 'three revolutions' Kim Il Sung brought about in post-war Korea: ideological, technical and cultural. The six halls detail advances across the board in electronics, heavy industry, agriculture and technology. There's also an interesting display of vehicles produced in North Korea.
The planetarium can be found within the electronics industry hall, which looks like a silver replica of Saturn.
Tuesday 01 May 2012: Kulovası Yaylası / Davraz Ski Lodge - Yukarı Gökdere - Adada - Kasımlar (photos)
Snow on the high passes of the Davraz Massif meant that we were doing an alternative, lower level route today, but after yesterday's snowy terrain I don't any of us minded!
A short drive from the Isperia Davraz Hotel brought us to the start of today's hike, summer grazing meadows where we were offered apples by one of the shepherd ladies in the tent village there. A lovely stroll through the yayla's green pastures, with the occasional skirting of fiercely protective shepherd's dogs, and closer inspection of a more docile tortoise.
As we walked further into the valley, the pine covered mountain sides closed in and we were soon walking through forest, emerging for a stretch along a forest track and for views out over the snow covered mountains - which proved a good spot for lunch. Blue skies today, so we were glad of the shade when, at the elephant rock, Mike took us off the "main" road and back onto a footpath that wound up through woods of oak, cedar and juniper that form the Kasnak Meşesi Ormani Nature Reserve.
Having admired the giant Kasnak Oak, it was handy to have the minibus cover the kilometres of tarmac that led down to the village of Yukarı Gökdere, where we sat sipping tea outside the çay bahçesi and tucked in to Jean's fruit cake.
A slightly longer minibus ride brought us to the remote Roman ruins at Adada, where we had the temples and theatre all to ourselves for almost the whole time.
Then on, driving through meadows and pasture, wending our way between the mountains to Kasımlar, where we were the inaugral guests in Abdulrahman Kokdogan's brand new en suite bedroom block. After a shower, time for a smashing dinner in traditional style, sat on cushions at low tables in the main lodge room.

On May 31, more than 50 Southern Nevada wildland firefighters from BLM, U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service were joined by Mercy Air for medical extraction training exercises.
In the first scenario, two separate heat related injuries of a fellow firefighters were reported. And it couldn’t have happened on a more appropriate day as it was 106 degrees.
Firefighters worked together to provide shade to the patients, record vital signs, provide initial treatment, provide interventions by administering oxygen, hand carrying them and finally fully extracting them from the injury site when medical gear arrived.
In the second scenario, a fellow firefighter fell and reported no feeling below his waist. This time, air transport was requested, a helispot was created, the patient was carefully guided down a steep hill with full c-spine immobilization on a litter, a BLM helicopter landed, the patient was loaded into the BLM helicopter, and finally transferred and loaded into a MercyAir medical helicopter.
After both scenarios, an After Action Review was held to discuss the extractions and lessons learned.
Special thanks to Ian McQuery, Las Vegas Helitack’s Assistant Crew Supervisor, for spearheading the training!
Nikko guide pamphlet (cover). Not sure when this is from. This site says it is pre-war opac.nikkocity.jp/viewer/info.html?id=145
I like the illustration and the Kanji design on the cover (notice how the 日 gets "split"). It is also interesting to see how everything is written from right to left (even inside).
