Singapore photographer allowed to take a bird's-eye view of North Korea
The DPRK is a closed country, so we don't know much about the life of North Koreans, and we see even fewer photos from this country, because often in North Korea they photograph only what is allowed. But Singaporean photographer Aram Pan was allowed to take a bird's-eye view of Pyongyang. The spectacle turned out to be exciting.
Filming was allowed to take place for a reason, but for the DPRK360 project, which "is designed to demonstrate various aspects of the DPRK." This project will not touch on political topics, but it will reveal the secrets of North Korea and promote friendship with other countries.
Shooting Aram Pan is not the first project that shows that North Korea is not such a terrible place. In May 2017, travel blogger Drew Binksy visited the DPRK and was pleasantly surprised.
The blogger said that he stayed in a modern hotel with an impressive view of Pyongyang from the windows. Drew even went down to the subway, went to restaurants and sang karaoke. According to him, Pyongyang is a pretty cool place and people here are no different from others: children go to school, play with friends, adults ride bicycles and take the subway to work, and there are even taxis on the streets.
Incredible events are taking place before our eyes: in April 2018, a meeting between the leader of the DPRK and the President of South Korea took place. These negotiations should put an end to the ongoing confrontation between the two countries of the Korean peninsula. And this means that after a while all the secrets of North Korea will finally be revealed to the rest of the world, and tourists will travel to the DPRK without fear.
