Love them white socks! sort of a schoolgirl/dominatrix thing.

So,they just launched another one.....so much for the war on error.

I do believe Saddam gave his WMD'S to Kim Jong Ill,or whatever he calls himself,oh,well,do hope NORAD is up and running.

Great photos!!

What a fascinating horrible place. And to to think, their leaders tried to lob missiles in our direction yesterday. It creeps me out.

And for all that, you can see Mercedes Benz cars around there. The remarks about a "1984" society seem to ring true.

Wow a W126 in NK! That person must be highly ranked or have money!

Very interesting, I plan on visiting lots of Asia one day, will check out Korea. They have an interesting history, they were a tribute state to the Ming/Qing for a very long time.

Lots of it looks like its right out of 1950!

If they think those rocks will stop tanks they are barking up the wrong tree, certinaly look imposing though.

I think the supreme leader in NK drives only MB. Read somewhere that he ordered 200 straight from Germany.

I wonder if KJI had all the techies who worked on the latest Teenydong II missile executed?

They can frown all they want whilst they kiss my American (half British) a$$!







There, now chastise me for being all "America is great" and all that...

I think all of us would rather live here than there; there was just some real spookiness to those photos. All those cutesie little animals and all, meanwhile people starve...


BTW, if you go to the russian site he has some good photos of China towards the end.

Hey maybe Kim Jong is like us guys on the diesel discussion, extolling the simplictiy and reliability of the old W123's. Two pics from the DPRK have W123's in them!

Dude, surely you noticed my tongue planted in my cheek. Korea is a hard nut to crack. While Vietnam's history of north and south is halfway easy to trace, and the communist bogey man there is not so evil as one would think based on reputation alone, Korea is a tough one. From what I can gather, few in the south (Korea) were interested in the north's communist experiment. In Vietnam, Ho had widespread support north and south, comparitively speaking.

North Korea now could serve as a warning about the dark side of military force. The last two years of the Korean war were a bloody stalemate with us bombing the bee-Jaysis out of the north. Ill Jong ill plays that to the hilt. They have war museums with graphic depictions of the savagery of the round-eye. I've seen footage of the tours. The Americans are held up as all that is evil and then there's the oral history tradition to back that up -- the military bludgeoning part, anyway.
