As you can see on this video, times are changing in North Korea, as more and more cars are driving in the capitale...There are trafic lights at some crossroads, but they are not in use. Perhaps because before few months, there was not much traffic. The girls, rather all cute and pretty, are called "the faces of Pyongyang".
On sunday, cars are not allowed. Only the official ones, and the army ones. So in fact, it does not change a lot the traffic!
On sunday, the traffic girls are not in the middle of the street, but they stay on the pavement. Still do not understand why..

This is hard to believe, but in Pyongyang , you can see this kind of show, with wigs, songs, clothes. This was a russian Opera performed by north koreans actors and singers.
I did not understand anything for 2 hours, even if the lyrics, in korean, were displayed on giant screens...
The show is also played in the countryside, as in every village, there is a theatre.

I got this in Shenzhen several years ago. The words on the top mean "Pyongyang comrade," and the smaller words say, "If you wont, I will do what I conl. The long-looked-for day! Thert's unity coming!"

Revolutionary Martyrs’ Cemetery in Pyongyang
In this memorial set on the slopes of Jujak Peak overlooking the city, there were busts of 120 guerrilla leaders and “revolutionary martyrs” who had lost their lives during the anti-Japanese struggle. Lot of people come to lay flowers, most of them in groups.

Display with former guns and helmets of the american deaths during the korean war at the “Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum”.
The place is impressive to visit, as the guide rewrites History and really seems to believe in what she tells!

When Kim Il Sung erected this statue for his 60th birthday in 1972, he covered it in gold. China, who were essentially propping up the North Korean economy, demanded that they remove the gold immediately. After removing the gold they polished the underlying bronze. This is a mock of what it might have looked like when it was still covered in gold.
