 You're not free to take pictures unless they give you permission to take pictures. And no souvenir taking either. Everything is considered property of the state. So you're just going through what they want to show you. They take you to what I would call a show village, which is not really representative of how most North Koreans live. But still, it was very interesting to be there and to experience that. I did that both in Pyongyang and also, of course, in the DMZ.
