The death of the 69-year-old North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il triggered a flood of tears from his countrymen. After his 17-year rule ended his followers turned into blubbering mourners and begs the question: are their tears real? Yesterday we posted this video, and today let’s see these photos of people’s public reactions and judge for yourself.

While most of people are glad about the death of the dictator Kim Jong-il (especially people from South Korea), the people from North Korea are in shock…

Mangyongdae funfair is the closest thing North Korea has to Disneyland.

These are some rare photos of North Korea. Judging by the photos it is one very sad country let alone that it is the world’s most isolated country that has nuclear weapons.

North Korea is one of the top secret countries in the world. Most photos of local life that appear in media show us military exercises and pompous parades. Finally, photographer Charlie Crane from Great Britain obtained permission to take pictures of daily life in this country. He was accompanied by a guide, but he still had a lot of opportunities to glimpse into the daily routine of ordinary North Koreans.

These are pictures of the inside of North Korea. It is amazing but they are just like the rest of us. They work and play just like everybody else. It sure doesn’t look like they are hell bent on unleashing a nuclear bomb on the rest of the world.

Here is a little insight of the North Korea seen through the eyes of foreigners.
