Found this link on another site from someones trip to N Korea. I found it interesting. Reminded me of parts of china in the countryside when I was there.

Wow, those are amazing photos and thanks for sharing that link you found with us. I've never been to Asia yet but someday I will go.

fascinating.

Reminds its looks like Cherynobyl minus the nuclear melt down. With all the communist relics.

Intersting. Great link, Russ. I've heard in N.Korea, you can't take images of the 'poorer' side of the country but you could take images of the Great Leader no probs.

Glad you liked the link. I was shocked by how it was there in the pictures, but I have seen some stuff like that when I was in China. Not as bad in the cities, but more like that in the outlying poor areas.

I would love to go visit China one of these days though I'm not so sure about visiting the poorer parts of that country though. North or South Korea.... not on my list. It's getting to be pretty dicey there nowadays.

Wonderful photos.
I feel a little depressed now, but thank you so much for linking them!

Me I want to visit Japan.

Gopher · Oct 12 06 11:17

Japan's also on my 'one day' agenda. That apart, thanks for 'giving' us these photos - terrifically interesting!

I would love to spend a month or two exploring the British Isles and Ireland. I watch the "Antiques Road Show" from the BBC and there are so many places that look interesting.

Gopher · Oct 12 06 11:31

Which places in particluar, Kitten?

kitten · Oct 12 06 11:38

Nothing in particular, really. I'd like to take a bus tour and stop in various places to explore for a day, and then move on. The Cottswolds are beautiful. I'd love to tour a single-malt distillery in Scotland, or go in to listen to the music in an Irish pub. Travel through some small towns in Wales. So many places are fascinating because of their history. It would be the sort of trip filled with accidental discoveries that would keep my mind smiling for years to come.

The Cotswolds ARE nice, but I prefer the Yorkshire Dales and the Peak District. Wales is SUPERB.

Oh, for a winning lottery ticket. That would be the trip of a lifetime for me.

Must go. I'm a bit late, but since I'm the boss it won't matter too much. I prefer to be punctual where possible.

Gopher · Oct 12 06 12:00

Same as me, I'm the boss too and I still start to panic if I don't get there at my self-appointed time. Crazy, isn't it?
