I thought this was really interesting, especially the pictures of Pyongyang. With America being a consumer-driven, post-modern society, it's amazing to see a city of that size with no advertising or any type of commercialism. The contrast is so stark that in its own singular, anachronistic way, Pyongyang seems kind of beautiful (as art).
I really liked the link you shared. I was not aware of the situation in North Korea and the use of a photo essay really captured the sadness and despair of these Koreans. Thank you for sharing.
