As we made our way back to Pyongyang, the most remarkable thing was the lack of cars (since nobody could afford to buy one, the only cars on the street were gifts from the government for good labor), which created completely empty highways, while the little side roads were full of pedestrians and bicycles.
When we visited a small village, which had only recently been opened to foreign eyes, it felt like time had stood still for the past 100 years: no cars, people peacefully walking and biking, crossing paths without the need for traffic lights.
Traveled route: Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge, Pyjongyang, Kaesong Checkpoint, Wonsan, Hamhung
