#12Keep in mind these are photos of the capital, in areas that tourists are allowed to see. There's a fascinating photoset from 2008 by some Europeans who through a bureaucratic miracle were allowed to enter and cross North Korea by train: http://vienna-pyongyang.blogspot.com/2008/09/khabarovsk-khas...
Did you read the first few lines of the page? Or pretty much any of the captions?
> Most tourists only experience the political smokescreen of Pyongyang; I had the privilege in visiting all corners on one of the longest tours ever executed (no pun intended) for foreigners into the hermit kingdom.
Photos from an officially supervised tour, yes, but limited to Pyongyang, definitely not.

#13Related: A YouTube channel [0] dedicated to videos of "everyday life" in North Korea, from an Indonesian expat living there.
Couple of random examples:
* Walking around Pyongyang in the winter. [1]
* Going to a computer store in Pyongyang. [2]

#14I had already read a couple of blogposts relating travels in North Korea, but this is the first one that made it feel like a gleeful adventure. The corn fields, the countryside cities, the small picnic and barbecue parties with food and soju... It reminds me of good times that I had in South Korea. Of course, it always has to be considered that it's also NK's propaganda machine/tourism industry in action, but some of those pictures warmed my heart up.

My mistake; thanks for the correction!

Look in the comments of the computer store video, he is a Diplomat so he can "roam freely" as he puts it. Somewhat interesting anyway!

Yeah, I don't know what to believe. Anyways, streets that aren't littered with advertising is certainly an interesting sight!

#19It's immoral to visit such a country. It has concentration camps. It tortures on a large scale. It's citizens suffer and visiting the country gives money to an evil regime.
