    Fascinating photos. Also check out the Vice guide to North Korea, you can watch it online:

    @ Rogier Bikker, the link has been un-broken, appreciate the heads up. And also, thanks for the link…very cool. I’ve spent some time in North Korea. It’s very interesting, but I don’t think it’s nearly as dramatic as Smith makes it out to be – in fact, it’s a lot like many places in China. Nevertheless, he’s put together a decent series.

    Incredible photo there. I agree with you that many of them remind me of places I’ve been around here in China. Even this photo you posted reminds me of some pictures I’ve seen of some coal factories in the Shanxi province.

    For some reason, I’m also having trouble with the link still. FYI.

    @ Josh, apologies. Link fixed (for sure) now.
