| I like the pic entitled "Nina is shitting into her pants" as she's being held over the ddeok. Plus side is it might add some flavor to those hideously bland culinary monstrosities. |

A photo blog coming out of the North... cool find.
I wonder if it is really being uploaded from there, or if it is just old holiday pics. |

| If it was a foreigner on holiday, it was one with unlimited access to local spots and chummy residents who seemed totally at ease. |

| It's got to be within the past year - one of the shots shows the pin has both Il-sung and Jeong-il on it. Plus, looking at some of the others, the leaves are changing colors or not even on the tree, but others are green. It's probably about 4 or 5 outings shot this year between the spring and now. |

| North Korea just creeps me out. Have you guys have seen the behind the scene pictures with the woman directing non-existent traffic on the street standing by herself in a circle in the middle of the intersection, buildings that were constructed for show and 90% vacant, absolutely no cars on the street that are 10 lanes, the list goes on and on. |

Did you actually look at the pictures? This isn't the 90's anymore, North Korea is changing. |

Go outside of central Pyeongyang and tell me that again. And I've been on the NK tour, these photos hardly represent the status quo of North Korean life. |

Is that the impression you got? Everything looked very forced and staged to me.

I got a laugh out of the piss-take on the "Kim XX Looking at Things" blog, even if it does tend to stray away from that.
Could it be some sort of foreign ambassador?

| Seems like a lot more traffic than what foreign media outlets like to portray. Kind of reminds me of China, about 10 years ago traffic on the streets of Beijing were not that bad, now it's insane. |

That tour is hardly representative of the status quo of North Korean life either. |
