Pyongyang is the capital city of DPRK. It is a metropolis of 3 million people. There are many skyscrapers cutting the overcast skies; towering Socialist apartment blocks: the apartments are typically white, but there are many that are coloured in pinks, purples, greens, blues, and yellows; the wide Taedong River cutting through the city centre, lined by elevated gardens; and the 105-storey Ryugyong Hotel dominating the skyline.
Although the weather was dark and gloomy, Pyongyang looked gorgeous with countless cherry blossom trees in full bloom along the wide boulevards and manicured avenues. The shocking pink of the trees is in sharp contrast to the dark grey overcast skies and chilly winds. Behind the cherry blossoms, decorating the city, are massive coloured Socialist Realist murals displaying the greatness of North Korea, the Juche Idea, and the Kims.
Pyongyang was unusually ‘busy’ because of the nonstop preparations for Kim Il Sung’s birthday – 15 April, a national holiday – and also for the Mass Games season. Many streets were packed with performers practicing their moves and dances for both events. Kim Il Sung Square - the 3rd largest square in the world - had daily practices, which were just as enthralling as the actual events themselves. There were flocks of women in bright primary colours practicing their routines for the upcoming events.
