My team has been evacuated from North Korea to Pusan by boat. From there we traveled by narrow gauge train to Kyongju where we spent Christmas day. Kyongju lies about 60 miles north of Pusan. I along with a few of the guys attended a Midnight Mass at a small Catholic Church. Father Kim gave the Mass. We were all grateful to get back safely.
