Pyongyang - a Ghost town.

Wow, read the article, Pyongyang's turning into Prypiat another way. Of course that's bad. But it's just astonishing that so many people lived there. 50,000 for Prypiat.
That's a fairly old article anyway...
 
That reminds me of the changing of the guards.

Have you seen the exchanging glances at 0:52? those gals scares me, they look like Terminatrix.
I like metro, it looks like a museum.
 
I watched a show on North Korea a few weeks ago on Nat Geo, and wow it was weird. I don't understand how they can keep so many people brainwashed, or scared, to believe eveything they do. And the laws they enforce, like you can't travel anywhere unless you get a permit.

If you go to Google Earth North Korea is completely blank. You guys know about Kijong-dong (Propaganda City)? It's near the South Korean border and made to look like a perfect city, but it's just fronts of buildings with timers for lights and some street sweepers to make it look real. Only people that live there are soldiers. Not a lot of info on it, but here's some. And it has the worlds biggest flag pole! :dopey:

And don't forget the propaganda they say about little old Kim, some say he made the hamburger. And that at the moment of his birth, a bright star lit up the sky, the seasons spontaneously changed from winter to spring, and rainbows appeared. All we know is, he's crazy.

North Korea is so weird, it's fascinating. I can't image when the time comes, and it will, that the people will figure out what's going on in the world. That will be culture shock and anger on a whole new extreme.
 
I think it's ridiculous enough that the country is still being officially run by a man thats been dead for 16 years!
