Pyongyang, la capitale della misteriosa
Nord Corea, è fatta per impressionare.
Non c’è bisogno di semafori nel paradiso
dei lavoratori. La polizia addetta al controllo del traffico ai maggiori incroci della
città vanta le più belle donne del mondo.
Come bambole ruotano meccanicamente
mentre dirigono il traffico. Sono statuarie,
con perfette uniformi blu elettrico e capelli corti, trucco pesante e cappello nero.
Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, was
built to impress. You do not need trafficlights in this worker’s paradise. In the traffic
police, you can find at the main crossroads
the most beautiful women in the world.
Doll-≠like beauties swivel their robotic
movements while directing traffic. Each
stands statuesque, heavily made-up, short
haircut, black-visor cap in spotless electric
blue uniform…simply perfect!
