North Korea, Scenes from the Otherside
The amazing thing about being in Dandong, looking across into North Korea is the difference between the two river banks.
The Dandong side is bustling with energy and life. There are lots of restaurants, vendors, shops, cruise boats, and all sorts of businesses on the China side.
You look across the river however, there is no development. In this case, the grass is literally greener on the other side.
Just to provide you a reference point, the first two pictures are of Dandong.
The rest are pictures of North Korea I took as we cruised down the Yalu river.

Are you an adventurous person, or have the eagle eye to help you see when they blink, squint or wink and then take the pictures ? Nice pictures! This is no more the have and have nots issue, but a pitiful existence under communism a system that actually looks great on paper.
