평양-개성고속도로.
Opened in 1992. Like most major construction projects in North Korea, it was built by soldiers, mainly by hand. In the past two years, several villages along the motorway were demolished. There used to be a village on the right but it has disappeared as well.

Arirang - 2011 - Pyongyang - North Korea
Grand Mass Gymnastic and Artistic Performance
Kim Il-sung Prize Winner
Arirang is a song symbolic of the Korean nation, proud and homogenous. This song, best permeated with the national sentiments, was a team song when the north and the south formed a single team to participate in the World Table-Tennis Championship and the World Junior Football Championships. Arirang in the past that depicts the sorrow of the nation full of vicissitudes and tragedy is now turned into a song of all nation that aspires after a prosperous and reunified Korea denying present departure or division but envisaging the meeting and reunion.
How many people are separated into the north, the south and abroad!
How painful is their misery and misfortune.
So their joy of reunion will be great but all the greater will be the jubilation of national reunification. Let us all join hands for the day when the long-cherished cause of reunification is achieved and the 70 million Korean sing the song " Arirang of Reunification"

From as young as 5 years old, citizens are selected based on skill level to serve for the Arirang Festival for many years. In most cases this will be the way of life for them until retirement.
The opening event of the two month festival are the mass games, which are famed for the huge mosaic pictures created by more than 30,000 well trained and disciplined school children, each holding up coloured cards, in an event known in the West as a card stunt, accompanied by complex and highly choreographed group routines performed by tens of thousands of gymnasts and dancers
The Taedong River promenade was redesigned two years ago. Sadly, most of the old trees were cut down. To fill the empty space, some sculptures were installed.

Older houses are still heated with briquettes known as 구멍탄 (in the South, they were known as 연탄). Residents are supplied with a fixed amount of coal dust from which they prepare their briquettes with hand-operated presses. This might seem a bit primitive but it is probably far better than living in a "modern" block of apartments in Tongil or Kwangbok Street where the central heating stopped functioning long ago.
