  Looking at the clothes worn by the people in that picture, I’d say it was taken in April. South Korean farms pretty much look the same in April.

  #4,

  That picture of downtown Pyeongyang reminds me of the most rundown parts of Beijing that I’ve seen, a far bleaker scene than that of the farm above. And that badminton dance routine is totally absurd, I’m getting culture shock just looking at it.
