Wow, these are great. To be honest, I had no idea what NK looked like inside. Are there any good places to eat there?

Great set. There's a few I'd love to see as prints.

Yes, there are a few good restaurant around but do not expect them to be luxury, Waitress can't speak any english so it is a bit hard to order the food. 99% of the restaurants are Korean food only. There are a few fast foodrestaurants as well as a few pizza houses but that is about it.

Also, something is missing in the cityscape shots. No graffiti and gang signs are illicitly painted all over everything.

There were always people cleaning the street and buildings all the time. It is impossible to find any dirty spots in the city. The tram, buses and buildings can look old and outdated but never dirty.
