For my last post on Ultimate Frisbee in North Korea for a while, I’ll post some far-reaching ideas, link to articles about it, and give thanks and credit.

Einstein said “you cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.” And George Santayana said “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

Well, if you want peace, I suggest you begin with fun and games, or at least make them a major part of your plans. And if you think fun and games is nothing more than fun and games, learn your ping pong history, because it makes a difference.

And play Ultimate!

He also mauled me in the end zone here ;). I also thank Koryo Tours for their part in making it happen. I don’t know what North Korean counterparts to thank in particular, so I’ll just thank them in general.
