Update: here's the new version

It should be in the right order now + i added the missing city names

The album includes pictures from Hamhung, Chongjin, Sinuiju, Nampo, Wonsan, Kaesong, Sariwon, Pyongsong, Haeju, and Anju.

There are some descriptions along the way (mostly just city names + general info)

I also included rural photos, and some showing various housing/development projects

    i remember someone posting an article in the old sub (or possible here?) with some pictures taken by a western journalist. every picture was accompanied by a description that made it seem completely dystopian, even when it just showed people doing completely mundane stuff. it was also presented as if the journalist was in some sort of grave danger for "exposing" the "kim regime".

    i really don't think there's a single group of people more dehumanized in the western imagination than north koreans. you're only supposed to think of them as people if they deflect and disavow their homeland. and even then, they're mostly threated as an attraction.

      I remember that too, like one of the pics was just children waiting to cross a road or a railroad or something I don't remember specifically but it was painted as some evil thing which was just weird.
