Outside the Tram Depot looking towards the city centre, Pyongyang, North Korea

Welcome to basement floor #1 of the Yanggakdo International Hotel of Pyongyang, the one and only red light district open to foreigners in all of North Korea. Don't expect to find any North Koreans in this shady area, this floor is forbidden to residents and staffed only by Chinese workers. Here the adventurous can party at the Egypt Palace Karaoke and Nightclub, try their luck at the Casino Pyongyang, and get a naughty Chinese massage in the VIP room of the Golden Spring Island Sauna. While this all sounds like a Hangover movie in the making, in reality don't expect too much, during my visit to basement floor #1 I found the nightclub closed, the casino empty and depressing, and the naughty massage parlor simply intimidating.

Pyongyang Metro is among the deepest metros in the world, with the track at over 110 metres deep underground. Due to the depth of the metro and the lack of outside segments, its stations can double as bomb shelters, with blast doors in place at hallways. It takes three and a half minutes from the ground to the platform by escalator.

Access to apartment buildings is always from the back side of the buildings, back streets, or courtyards.

There is a internet rumor that the Pyongyang subway has only two stations. We traveled five stations so that was obviously not true. The origin of the rumor is that tourists are often just shown the two first stations since they are the most beautiful.

Apartment block in Taehak Street, Pyongyang. The slogan on the huge banner translates, "Long live the Korean Workers' Party!"

The first two stations on the red line on the Pyongyang subway are very beautiful with murals, marble and ornamented lamps in the ceiling.
