    Met onze twee gidsen, een soldate (die de rondleiding op het Amerikaanse spionageschip verzorgde) en Sonja.

    i think it must be the USS Pueblo. Good to know that North Korean tourists can pay money to see the USS Pueblo up close.

    kinda interesting seeing those two little kids with M&M’s in their hands.

    Wonder how they got them.

    Why, everyone knows that the Dear Leader personally oversees the making of all M&Ms. The ‘M’ stands for ‘Manse!’ (Alternatively, the tourists gave them to the kids.)

    Maybe they’re counterfeit M&Ms :)
