    I have some photos on display that were taken in North Korea, and I thought it only fair that I include the story that goes along with them. I entered this in a travel writing competition recently (it didn’t win) and I’m posting it here so at least some one might get some enjoyment out of it! Not technically related to ‘Japanfluence’, but I thought it might be interesting to a few of you Japonophiles – here’s looking at you TBO!

  • Tourists
    by Margaret Sanderson

    This may seem a bit ‘bah humbug’, but until you’ve lived in a tourist area, you will not be able to understand how inconvenient an influx of these visitors can be! I’ve made a few re-writes of this poem, two of which were published . The first was in Arrival Press’s ‘North East Poets’ in 1995. A second version was published by United Press in ‘Life’s Wonders’ in February 2009.
