I found a short video on Flickr showing cars outside Pyongyang railway station, taken in April this year. Among other things, there's a Renault Kangoo, one of the legendary Volvo 144s and a Dacia 1310 still working as a taxi.

Rare? I haven't found this bus-type in our database:

@ingo: I have posted these latest batch of your sighting at: Ingo's Sighting album

Thanks, ingo

I should upload these pictures to the Lighting Gallery web site later on this week if these imageshack files doesn't cut us off

Mee, too. But this is one question, you wont get an answer in North Korea. Original US-cars, mainly Vans and SUVs are no rare sights there, also US-spec import-cars appear sometimes.

I tried to ask this two, three times, but this was obviously an inconvienient question. The guide hum and hawed and said "They came from Thailand, via the Chinese port Dalian. In Dalian are sitting ... *cough* distributors"
Of course with "distributors" he meant "smugglers". I kept quiet and haven't replied, that Thailand is implausible, because at first they have RHD cars there and twice, the cars I was mentioning, were real US-versions.

But he denied categorically, that these US-cars came from Okinawa, in times, when the ferry between Wonsan and Yokohama was still in operation.

Better think about that again. It's annoying.

I like the light fighting from the Guest House, I should get something like that for my flat.

The Jeep Commander has come a long way. Wonder how it went from Minnesota to North Korea

Hah, there I was searching for - the illuminating Korea-silhouette on a building in Wonsan:



Parked in front of our hotel, the Dongmyong Hotel, there were parked some SUV's and trucks, even a former Motor Home

At the dinner in the Lake Sijung Guest House we had lights, too.


Regular lamps in the ceiling, plus coloured blinking lights, combinated with the Karaoke-machine, plus a running TV with heroic propaganda movies

In the Majon Beach Guest House I don't made pics of some lightings-stuff, only from the warm water-patent:



From this location exists also a pic of myself, when I made a swim in the Eastern Sea of Korea (anywhere outside Korea named Sea of Japan), but very very unfortunately I cannot show it, because it was made by my travelling-fellow with 8MB

Inside the Grand People's Study Palace they have lightings, too:
