Pyongyang, North Korea, August 2012

The last bit of Pyongyang for you all. Next is my happy place: Japan.!


A car on the Pyongyang Metro (also the world's deepest) (they have signs on the giant escalators asking you to please not sit down)




Every station has murals and ornate works of art




The Ryugyong Hotel with its finally finished exterior (it's still uninhabitable, though)


This is a giant mural commemorating Kim Il Sung's return from his guerilla missions in Manchuria (spoiler alert: he was actually in the USSR) following liberation


The North Korean Arch of Triumph, 10 meters taller than the Arc de Triomphe (because if there's one thing NoKo does well, it's trying to one-up everyone)


More Ryugyong. That thing used to be a giant concrete monolith. Now it's a giant glass monolith


Bonus shot of the outside of the grounds of the Forbidden City in Beijing!
