| The order is overwhelming and for someone from India, the sweeping shift from chaos, may makePyongyang look like hallucination (video below). |
You are invited to take a virtual trip of Pyongyang following a 360° camera mounted on top of a car.
The city lives up to its reputation as the capital of the Hermit Kingdom.
You will see tree-lined boulevards, huge public buildings and streets laid out in a north-south, east-west grid.
You pass by occasional swank SUVs, dilapidated state-run buses and a tram lonely furrow like a caterpillar.
You may feel good as there are no traffic jams, and also strange that there are no people as well. You do have rare sights of people crossing the road on their bicycle or walking on the pavements, silently without any unnecessary motion.
The order is overwhelming and for someone from India, the sweeping shift from chaos, may make the trip look like hallucination.
Kim Il-Sung, who built Pyongyang after the World War 2, wanted a Soviet-style city with limited population.
The video is over an hour long and thanks to the 360° images, you can get multiple veiws of the same shot by moving your cursor.
