Incredible photos.
The building to person ratio appears to be 1:1.
There’s a great, fairly recent Harper’s article abouty N. Korean defection process into a region of China.
I always liked this shot of North Korea/South Korea nightlife comparison. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/lib…
There are some interesting documentaries about North Korea; two of them are described at the following link. I’ve seen A STATE OF MIND and another by Daniel Gordon, CROSSING THE LINE, about U.S. soldiers who defected to North Korea in the ’50s; one is still living there. Definitely worth seeing.

Asian chicks with Ak-47s that is pretty hot.
Amazing and intriguing photos – thanks for pointing this out.
A friend of mine had a chance to go there a few months ago and I was begging him to take a clock photo since that is one country I don’t have a photo from. He was going to take one but said they held all cameras at the DMZ and gave them back upon exiting North Korea. He said you basically saw what they wanted you to see and wandering elsewhere was way out of the question.
Vbs.tv has a great documentary from inside N Korea. Search the website for the full length video. Great stuff. Though I’d caution those faint of heart from watching the Liberia documentary.
I see nothing abnormal about proper N. Korean women wandering the streets with Kalashnikovs. I think if more women were willing to accessorize with automatic weaponry we could solve the AIDS crisis and NASA’s budget shortfall.
