Any idea about what it is that they sell in their malls? Except for maybe one or two kinds of pants, shirts, etc. Even that may be a bit much.

You could probably find a Kimjongilia or two.

Apparently it is described as a "three story supermarket", built when the previous market became too crowded.
"I had found myself in the North Korean version of Macy’s, but here, every day is the Friday after Thanksgiving. There were delicate blouses and dresses for around 15,000 won (roughly $4 at black market exchange rates), all sorts of fruit — thought to be nearly impossible to find in this mountainous hermit kingdom — and enough varieties of mystery meats to make my high school cafeteria green with envy."

How many wheelbarrows does a DPRK citizen need to push in order to bring 15,000 won to the mall???

No wheelbarrow - you could fit three of these Il-Sungs in your billfold!



But 10,000 1 won COINS would be a different story. Probably just 1 wheelbarrow, but a large one.

Thanks for the currency lesson! I'm sure those are cool collector's items.

According to a currency converter, their Won is worth .00701 of a penny.

Pyongyang traffic girls at the mall!!! That's the last thing I'd expect to see! I like this website, lot's to look at.

wowo what a Great picture this Mall is very clean & Good.

THIS is something to be proud of. something worth showing off.
