North Korea Pictures
Posted on 24. Jun, 2006 @ 12:11 am by harvey in Culture
Off topic, but so interesting…
Pictures of North Korea from a Russian blogger, Artemiy Lebedev. The site is in Russian, but the pictures are interesting enough alone.
If anyone here speaks Russian, by all means! Please fill me in!
I recently read the book, The Aquariums of Pyongyang, an amazing story of a Korean living in Japan in the 70’s, whose family migrates back to North Korea, gets thrown in a concentration camp, yet some how the boy escapes to China to eventually meet a French Journalist who created this book.
Really, amazing stuff.

Ayumi! I read your post about your visit to NK! Amazing!
And I really envy you for having a dad who would be willing to join you on such a ridiculous adventure… (Or, was he the one who initiated it?)
All, go check it out

You should look for the documentary called “Welcome to North Korea” in a torrent site like mininova. Depressing stuff.
