“The Helmut Sacher Café with fine coffee has been located at Kim-Il-sung Square for a few years. My group had already returned there and I made use of the situation to take pictures. One guide remained with me. After ten minutes, he became restless and asked me to come along later, as he also wanted a cappuccino. That was pretty unusual and had never happened before.”
