A Rare Glimpse of City Life in North Korea
There are Mercedes and Audis, along with bookstores, restaurants and well-swept but mostly empty streets.
This weekend, Pyongyang came as close as it ever does to a citywide party. To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Korean War truce, the North Korean government launched an elaborate celebration of its military and leadership, even opening a new war museum filled with television screens and battle site recreations.
During the festivities, foreign journalists were also able, under close supervision, to document their surroundings.
