I have a new goal: I want to ride the Pyongyang Metro - mostly because I had no idea such a thing existed until about a week ago. It has two lines, supposedly runs every 5 minutes or better, and trains have pictures of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jung Il on the sides (fun fact: those two built the entire system with their bare hands in one week). I can't imagine it being anything but the most efficient, cleanest, and most mind-blowing subway ride ever. Also the station names are amazing: Comrade, Triumph Return, Unification, Paradise, etc. There are a few pictures out there, mostly of the station shown above.
So if it does in fact exist, I'll be making an excursion to North Korea, hopefully before they blow themselves up.
