They look like SoCal ladies.

The secret’s out. The Wookie’s new job is as lunch consultant at Koryo.

Any American would be nuts to travel there.

[AZSonic]

Talk about fake news.

[Seruzawa]

Does the calendar include pictures of the families of these flight crews being held hostage?

Engine start and takeoff in an Air Koryo IL-62.

Apparently they liked him enough to give him the seats right by the engines...

I was one of those many guys who was in love with Choi Ji-woo. Getting older now though—both of us.

The women have to carry their bags but not the men.

I was in Helsinki (I think) checking into a hotel with my crew and a Korean Air crew came in. They were impeccable and all looked like supermodels and carried themselves like royalty. We were in absolute awe.

One thing we can be sure of is that Air Koryo never serves Seoul food.

Somebody said the NK women were said to be more beautiful than the SK women , hence my 2 photos comparing . NO comparison , trust me . But the Japanese blow them all away !

For your benefit:

She is tall, about 5'9", and appears to be athletic. There was a scene in a drama where she ran up the escalator stairs. She ran up two stairs at a time and really fast.

Tagging this to show a coworker.

Vietnam Airlines flight attendants for the win.

I worked several Summers at a Summer retreat. We always had around 30 Japanese students work for maybe six weeks as part of their training.

There would always be two or three beauties. It seemed to me that the really pretty ones tended to be the smaller ones.

[TigerLikesRooster]

really pretty ones tended to be the smaller ones.

Japanese are partial to small cute ones, and as you said, many of their pretty ones are short.

Somebody told me that Japanese hold two different beauty pageants, one for international stage and the other for domestic audience. The former usually favors tall leggy ones, and the latter, smaller cuter ones. I don't know if this is true, but tall leggy ones do not seem as popular as in the rest of world. Even in Japan's neighbors, S. Korea and China, tall leggy ones are popular.

They kill and eat the ugly ones.

It is a traditionally accepted view. Especially Pyongyang and Kanggye, another city in the North, were famous for their beautiful women.

Living in an isolated world with poor nutrition for so long did damage to the reputation. If they become open, eat better, and catch up with the latest fashion, these women will probably take off just as Russian and Ukrainian women did.

Does that “sandwich” bark or meow when you bite into it?

[KarlInOhio]

Considering the average North Korean diet, those are probably the fat ones: they get out of the country and can get a sandwich or two.
