1. I came across these pictures a couple weeks ago

Pretty cool, in a bad way. It is good to learn how other people live, but then actually SEE it. Reading doesn't teach much. You need to see it to believe it. Sort of like Kenny Boy's death ;).

4. Wow, Wow, Wow
Thanks so much for this link, I am completely absorbed by these photos. They are so, contrived, and yet, reflecting the reality of life in NK. I can't quite get over the sterilization of an entire society.

Just, wow.

7. thanks, klook!
great pics ... they're all so eerie ... and sterile ... and austere ...

some of them make it seem like all the people have been vaporized ...
