I worked in China just when it first opened up. We also had a "guide". These pictures are awesome, and a historical record. Very, very good work.

Hi Peter,

It is my first time to visit North Korea. The experience is unforgettable and it is worth to go once in the life. There is an official guide follow you for the whole trip, but our guide is very very nice and helpful. The North Korea just like China 30 years ago, but the streets are peaceful and the people are nice.

Thank you again for the nice comments and votes !

North Korea appears to be a very quickly changing country, with access seemingly increasing rapidly, how did you find the overall experence of the country, I've read about the subway trips seeming staged, and having guards with you. How was this for you? Is this the first time you've visited? Oh and vote! great collection of images!

You are very brave to visit this country. Thank you so much for sharing this photos.
They mean lot for me as I was a US ARMY service member stationed in South Korea.
For 2 years I lived there in South Korea,,,
North Korea meant something I can't explain... So near from there where I used to live, but yet, so far, far
