Pyongyang, DPRK.
While the picture is blurry, it reflects street life in residential areas at dusk pretty well. The kiosks on the sidewalks are a very common sight. They sell foodstuffs, flowers, and other daily consumption items.

평양 천리마문화회관.
The headquarters of the so-called Committee for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries, an organization in charge of cultural exchange with foreign countries. As the DPRK regime is anxious to prevent any foreign "cultural infiltration", the main task of this institution is not to encourage some meaningful cultural exchange but to organize "support and solidarity with the just cause of the Korean people", i.e. to find and exploit some foreigners who are stupid enough to believe the DPRK propaganda.

All important places, buildings, monuments and statues are illuminated.

평양 4·25문화회관.
Opened in 1975, this building "serves as a centre of mass cultural education for soldiers of the Korean People's Army and the working people", according to the Pyongyang review. It is the site of various "mass meetings" on official holidays such as the KPA Foundation Day. Originally called February 8 House of Culture in remembrance of the formal creation of the KPA on 8 February 1948, it was renamed after Kim Il Sung in 1978 directed that the KPA Foundation Day be changed from 8 February to 25 April, the alleged day of establishment of his anti-Japanese guerrilla army in 1932.
