Creepy. Looks like a city after a zombie raid.

The city looks like a nuke went off 20 years ago and they are just now starting to rejoin modern society from the scraps of what was left....

Wow is right..

Check out this fascinating trip report to the DPRK from an American citizen living in South Korea: http://www.1stopkorea.com/index.htm?nk-trip1.htm

I'm not going to call an ambulance this time because then you won't learn anything.
