How North Korea's subway is better than NYC's
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/12/north-korea-subway-newspapers-photo-pyongyang.html?mid=google&google_editors_picks=trueOverall, Pyongyang's subway system, which Wired's Jeffrey Marlow visited recently, seems pretty creepy, in that it is "dimly lit," filled with portraits of Kim Jong-Il and Kim Il-Sung, and silent save for the "patriotic music" that "echoes faintly across the stone floor." Also, if you sneeze, your family gets sent to a reeducation camp for three generations.
