Our guide - view from the Juche Tower in Pyongyang

 

Wide view over Pyongyang from the viewing platform just below the torch.

The Juche Tower (officially the Tower of the Juche Idea) is a monument in Pyongyang, North Korea.

A somewhat rare, but not quite unicorn status, view of a taxicab in Pyongyang. There's not a lot of street traffic in general in North Korea, so I was actually pretty surprised the first time I saw a taxi. If owning a car is a pretty big luxury, I figured riding a taxi would also be quite a luxury.

Numerous North Koreans came out to see the parade of military vehicles as they drove past. Having completed their parade through Kim Il-sung square to celebrate the 100th birthday of the Eternal President Kim Il-sung, they then went on a route as they exited Pyongyang so that more people could come out to see them.

One of the few buildings from the immediate postwar reconstruction period, this is located near Haebangsan Hotel.

The Metro uses rolling stock imported from Berlin, Germany. While North Koreans like to pretend that the trains were built locally, the graffiti in German on windows give the carriages' former lives away.

 

Because electricity is scarce, only the ends of the cars are lit, making for a very dark ride. Incidentally, each car prominently displays portraits of the leaders, close to the working light fixtures.
