And what we have in North Korea?

Recently, news agencies frequently reported North Korea. The reason for this was the recent events related to the educational launch missiles toward Japan, the abandonment of nuclear disarmament talks, as well as threats to resume nuclear program. Media reported that North Korea's nuclear capability may be much larger than previously thought. Also recently there was the arrest of two US journalists on the border with China. Despite the increased attention to North Korea, still in the press continues to receive quite a few photos from the country. One way to "look behind the curtain" is photographed at the border. In recent years it has become quite popular, and there was quite a lot of curious tourists from neighboring China and South Korea. Collected here are photos, look at it from outside a closed country.
