	Pyongyang Square - nuclear issue in North Korea
		KEDO hoped to take construction equipment out, but Pyongyang is opposed to it until the compensation issue for the delayed project is resolved.
		Pyongyang also mentions: "We had already taken the resolute action of pulling out of the NPT and have manufactured nukes for self-defence to cope with the Bush administration's evermore undisguised policy to isolate and stifle the DPRK.
		Pyongyang reacts that Bush is turning the world into "a sea of fire" by capitalizing on what the DPRK calls "the freedom of power."

	UrbanRail.Net > Asia > North Korea > PYONGYANG Metro
		Pyongyang is the capital of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) and has 1.7 million inhabitants.
		The Pyongyang metro is the only one in the world where station names do not refer to a geographical location nearby, but to some theme of the socialist revolution (like Renovation, Victory, Unity, etc).
		Pyongyang metro is usually dark, because of the electricity supply problems, and the entire service is suspended once a month, on the first Monday of each month.

	Asia Times - Fearful symmetry: Washington and Pyongyang
		This summer Washington is confronting Pyongyang with a policy of naval interdiction and a tightening chokehold of economic isolation.
		Pyongyang believes that it needs a nuclear weapon - or the much cheaper illusion of one - because its conventional forces are a mess.
		And obstinate leaders in Pyongyang, who blame US policies for the problems that assail the country, now have ample ammunition for their argument that negotiations with Washington are a waste of time.

	Pyongyang Watch - Пхеньянский денвник
		PYONGYANG (Reuters) - In North Korea, it may be a crime to speak ill of the Dear Leader, but visitors are also advised not to badmouth the beloved national dish.
		Pyongyang appears likely to continue to hope that ad hoc changes, coupled with continued foreign aid and income generated from arms sales, tourism, and criminal activity, will be adequate to meet the country's needs.
		Pyongyang, August 10 (KCNA) -- The grand mass gymnastic and artistic performance "Arirang", the great masterpiece representing the new century, will be presented in Pyongyang on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Korea.

	Letter from Pyongyang \| thebulletin.org
		Pyongyang is a city of high-rises, with probably the highest average building height of any city in the world.
		Pyongyang is one of the quietest cities on the planet, due to the near total absence of automobiles.
		In fact, totalitarian rule in Pyongyang is as strong as ever, and it has additionally weathered the "arduous march" of drought and famine.

	GAVAN McCORMACK - NORTH KOREA IN THE VICE (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Pyongyang was surely right to take the view that the families themselves should decide where they wished to live—for which it was indispensable that they first be reunited in their North Korean homes.
		Pyongyang, the leading study of these events concludes, played the nuclear card ‘brilliantly, forcing one of the world’s richest and most powerful nations to undertake negotiations and to make concessions to one of the least successful’.
		Pyongyang’s calculation may be seen as coldly rational, premised on the knowledge that a nuclear programme is one thing the US will take seriously.

	Too much Paradise, by train through North Korea
		Eeriest of all is the 150,000-seat stadium Pyongyang constructed in a failed bid for a portion of the 1988 Olympics.
		Subway stations in Pyongyang are in the Moscow mold of proletarian luxury, with polished marble floors, arched white pillars and sparkling chandeliers.
		Above ground, too, Pyongyang has the same unworldly quality with its dazzling fountains surrounded by park benches with nobody upon them, ghost trolleys that run sleekly through silent streets, empty save for the state fleet of Mercedes, reportedly the largest in the world, conveying top cadres to furtive ministries.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| The land that time forgot
		In Pyongyang, a city that rose from the ashes of the Korean war 50 years ago, a gloomy outlook comes from the advance guard of European diplomats who have begun taking residence, just as war seems closer than at any time in half a century.
		At nightfall, Pyongyang and other cities shiver, while the brightest lights are the headlamps of the occasional passing vehicle.
		Fifty kilometres to the south of Pyongyang, I witnessed the effect of this economic collapse in the dingy wards of Sariwon hospital, a principal hospital serving a region of more than 1.6 million.

	North Korea: Policy Determinants, Alternative Outcomes, U.S. Policy Approaches (Rep. 93-612 F)
		Pyongyang's current concerns about its own survival are cumulative and derived from three main sources: slow economic productivity since the 1970s, South Korea's insurmountable economic lead over North Korea in the crucial inter-Korean rivalry, and deepening isolation since the breakup of the Soviet Union--Pyongyang's most important source of weapons and economic assistance through 1990.
		Pyongyang unilaterally suspended the historic dialogue with the South in 1973, saying it was a waste of time, but in 1985 resumed the dialogue, concluding that circumstances now favored engaging the South.
		Pyongyang's paranoia about its national security can be gauged in part by its shrill reactions to the annual U.S.-South Korean "team spirit" joint military exercise, but more importantly by its determined efforts to develop a nuclear weapons capability and to refuse compliance with the IAEA's demand for special inspections.

	Nautilus Institute Policy Forum Online: Pyongyang's new strategy of 'Frank Admission'
		Pyongyang's new strategy of 'frank admission' and Pyongyang's confession of its wrongdoings to visiting US Assistant Secretary, James Kelly, should be viewed as part of a newly adopted strategy of "frank admission" of past wrongs.
		Pyongyang is probably feeling rather annoyed by the extremely negative reactions it is receiving from the Japanese public, despite the Great Leader's unprecedented admission and his apology on the abduction issue.
		The United States' demands of Pyongyang in the negotiation process will undoubtedly be harsher and tougher in the future, and it will definitely require concrete and verifiable evidence of North Korea's willingness to concede on issues of concern.
