Sounds about right. Granted the stations in DC are nothing to look at…

From what I’ve heard, the reason you can only go to those stations is that they are the only nice ones. The rest are your standard spartan concrete affairs. I did see of a picture of one at one time, but naturally I can’t find it on google now (since google is evil of course.)

Erica, if you do go to N. Korea, check with your tour company to see if they can arrange a visit to the Pyongyang Metro museum. It wasn’t on our itinerary, but I know that other tourists have been there. Sounds like it would be right up your alley. I believe they can also arrange a longer metro ride in which you can go to three different stations.

This is by far my fave post about North Korea! I have always been fascinated with underground transportation (I’m from New Orleans, we don’t even bury people underground). I wrote a senior thesis comparing the Metro in Paris to the Tube in London. I may go to N. Korea just for this part of the tour. I love how the guy on the escalator is giving you the evil eye and wishing the Imperialist Pigs were in front of him for easier surveillance.
