University in Pyeongyang, North Korea

last weekend i had the privilege of sitting in a small breakfast meeting w/dr. james kim, the president of yanbian university of science and technology & pyeoungyang university of science and technology. i previously knew a couple that has been teaching at yanbian university for many years. and they speak very highly about the school & everyone involved w/the school's leadership. dr. james kim is a fascinating person. he is a korean-american who raised money & started these two universities. though there are some controversial opinions about him and his latest project, he is an amazing person w/an amazing story.
