Where Have I Been? North Korea.

They say it's the world's last Stalinist state. Does seem pretty much as horrible and backwards as it's made out to be. Lot's of pics!

i think you have to prove that you're not a north korean spy now.

If I were a spy, I'd choose a forum with more activity to spy on!

lol. that trip looked pretty cool, i enjoyed the pictures. what brand were all of the appliances?

[HoboFactory]

Mostly it was brands I've never heard of, seems like most of it would have come from China or South Korea. That's kind of the irony, North and South are officially enemies, by North Korea's second largest trading partner is South Korea.

My last trip has been to Bergen and Oslo (Norway), just a couple of weeks ago... simply spectacular... I took advantage that I was attending a university congress on my major and took some other days to spend more time there than just the congress... we visited the fiords and the towns around... amazing, never seen such a beautiful place before!
