Dinner at Pyong Yang

Here’s a video I took at Pyongyang restaurant in Phnom Penh. Dragged along a couple of friends to check the place out after hearing about it again and again from curious expats. It’s North Korean owned and run. The performers and wait-staff were all North Korean as well, though I wish I could learn more about the story of how they are chosen, what their lives are like once they’re hear, how they’re trained…

I don’t know much about the North Korean relationship with Cambodia. Something to look into.

Funny, when I mentioned something about it on Facebook, a friend who hadn’t been in touch for a long time thought I was going to the real place.
