North Korea Pictures

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.

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