Gadling Goes to North Korea

Gadling blogger Neil Woodburn has been posting some interesting pieces about his recent trip to North Korea. My favorite so far: The Sexy Traffic Girls of Pyongyang. Turns out there are no traffic signals in the capital. Hence, the “traffic girls.”

Writes Woodburn: “Dolled up in crisp, blue and white uniforms that are rumored to have been designed by Kim Jung Il himself, the immaculately coifed women work the middle of intersections throughout Pyongyang. Every Traffic Girl is beautiful, young, shapely, and sexy in a uniform-wearing sort of way….Armed with just a whistle and baton, the girls are a one-person show beautifully orchestrating the flow of traffic with patented, choreographed moves that are crisp, robotic, and out of this world.”
