K27 from Dandong (with through coaches from Beijing) after arrival at Pyongyang.
A lot of the people waiting on the platform are guides meeting foreigners off the train. All foreigners must have government guides with them at all times in North Korea and the arrangements are part of the granting of your visa. Our guides were also part of this group of greeters...
He's in charge of giving the driver the Go to leave the station. We are far from the Tokyo rush!
Pyongyang subway. Deep, very deep:120 meters below the surface! Two lines, old wagons in a DDR style.
All the 17 stations have names like Triumphant Return, Reunification, Paradise, Glory...i do not know how people reminds the names!
>the official speech:
The Pyongyang Metro was opened to traffic in September 1973.
The metro has a greater transport capacity than other means of passenger traffic and gets a large share in guaranteeing the smoothness of traffic in the city of Pyongyang.
It fans out in all directions of the city and every citizen has easy access to its service. In constructing the metro, considerable thought was given to the prospect of the city’s development. It links districts with each other and the city centre with the suburbs.
The stations are within easy reach of squares, parks, stadiums and pleasure grounds and bus and trolley bus stops in the city.
Each station is equipped with escalators.
The high ceilinged stations are well-ventilated and this makes the passengers feel refreshed.
Each station offers an individual architectural style.

The Schoolchildren's Palace features on most tours of Pyongyang and is meant to impress visitors with the talent on display. The children who were performing were indeed very talented but I found this to be the most disturbing part of my visit to North Korea. There didn't seem to be a lot of fun about the place and I didn't enjoy seeing young kids being brainwashed.
However, this girl gave me a nice genuine smile and provided a lighter moment during my visit to this depressing place.
Known as the „Singapore Shop“ among expats for its wide range of goods imported from Southeast Asia, this shop is frequented by the new Korean elite.
Andrew Holloway, in his highly readable account “A Year in Pyongyang”, calls this 30m high bronze trio “perfectly monstrous”–a very apt description indeed.

During the 11th Pyongyang International Film Festival, Pyongyang citizens had a rare chance to watch modern foreign films. The two huge posters on either side feature North Korean films: the classic "The flower girl" (꽃 파는 처녀, 1972) and the equally famous "Legacy" (유산). What really attracted the crowds on September 21st were the two foreign films on show: the Iranian feature film "The song of sparrows" and the Russian flick "First under God".
