All North Koreans are required to attend the Kimjongilia Festival.
This yearly event takes place on the birthday of their former leader Kim Jong Il with a special flower which was named after him. The festival includes flower shows, a military parade and a large dance party.
Mother and son
While taking this picture of a mother and son relaxed on a park bench, the photographer thought it was a nice, charming moment.
However, the government believed that people would think the two were homeless and asked him to delete the images.
Not from behind
Another strange story of an illegal picture.
This picture is not allowed because although it is ok to take pictures of statues, it is illegal to take pictures of statues from behind. Please look away from the back of the statue.
Rundown buildings
In North Korea, image is everything and therefore they focus their energies on maintaining the exterior of buildings.
However, due to lack of resources and reliable contractors, some buildings begin to look rundown.
No brooms
This worker must have been extremely distracted because he left a broom next to this statue.
This picture is banned because brooms are not allowed at the bottom of any statues.
