Some pics of North Korea

Wow. The road looks it hasn't been repaired for years...The bus driver looks thin, the apartments look old, and the street car is definitely outdated.
:china:

most of those photos are from the capital city.and the roads are empty bicause most of the northern korea citizens are very poor and they dont have money to buy cars.

You see, we are more thinking along the line of bicycles and walkers. I mean, even if there are no cars (which was basicly the case in china back in 50-70...), there got to be some people on the streets...

You mean those 2 blue buildings with the NK guards standing around them? That's Panmunjon, the heavily fortified North-South Korea crossing point, it's a strange place. Those buildings are where negotiations took place between the two sides; they are actually split in half on the inside, right down the middle. The concrete curb running through the middle of the picture is the actual border and extends to the inside of the buildings as well. Even the negotiating tables inside the blue buildings are split with a border drawn through them. Guards stand on each side of the border glaring at each other (they're still technically at war...), there are also guards inside the buildings I believe. The photo is looking towards the South Korean side, so the NK guards are in the foreground.

I read on this website that the North Korean subway cars have like triple blast doors. And that it's so far underground so any bombing won't destroy it. And there are some secret lines that top officials can use. That's crazy.

The place looks like a dirty bomb was just dropped on it. Absolutily no one. I never like kim jong il. They say all he cares about is his hair stlye.

And his hiar style is pretty damn ugly. Man I feel bad for him. He's getting re-married to his former secretary after his first wife died of cancer.

I thought that it was his second wife. It's not like having a wife matters very much to him anyway. He has quite a few female "secrataries", "nurses" and "assistants" to "assist the Dear Leader in governing North Korea's Socialist Worker's Paradise"
