Playing bumper cars at the “Fun Fair” was one of the cooler experiences of the trip; everyone just seemed to be having a good time. As in most places, there were many soldiers, some spending time with their kids, some with friends. Pyongyang, North Korea.
Host Lisa Mullins speaks with Sam Gellman, who took some rare photos of life in North Korea. Gellman recently toured North Korea as a tourist and his photos have received almost a million visits on online.
