Nice...thanks for sharing.
but wait, there is more...
dandong is the eastern most border in china, and since it shares a common border with DPRK,
you'd expect a lot of Korean influences, from the menu in Korean as well to the businessmen who
do trades between China and the DPRK. Well, this place is also full of pro-North and pro-South
factions. Needless to say, there are lots of spies here, most of them we do not see at all.
So here's an interesting thing that happened on Tuesday:
I was in the airport waiting to catch the flight from Dandong to Beijing
(and catch an early next day flight back to Singapore).
And I stumbled upon 5 DPRK girls with a mamasan accompanying them.
Now, my guess was either they were daughters of rich DPRK officials on holiday
together or as my friend suggested, they were spies.
So, how do you know if a spy is a spy and not a holiday maker ?
Well, I tried to chat with the girl, I pointed to her dark blue passport and to the
DPRK pin on my t-shirt, she just stared at me and I felt embarrassed.
I stood up, spoke on my mobile phone but the camera was pointing at the group,
and I took a couple of shots.
then the mamasan must have noticed that the stealthy camera was clicking
away she pretended to walk near me, I then move to my right and continued
my phone call.
But for the next 20 mins, everyone started to wear sunglasses, and one of them
would be keeping an eye on me at all times.
So, what do you think ? Happy holidaymakers from North Korea or Spies ?

great work of art and effort to cross border to the last place on earth untouched by "capitalism" so to speak
not trying to be an @ss here and with utmost respects, i struggled to appreciate the color of NK in b&w, perhaps life is grey and monochrome there and time has stood still since the 50s there after the war but what is it like in color..?
great work though nonetheless..thanks for sharing
