Trip to North Korea 2009 Day 4 Morning Images https://www.stephencodrington.com/Galleries/North_Korea_2009/Pages/Day_4_Morning.html In August 2009, I accompanied a group of 20 students from Li Po Chun United World College in Hong Kong to North Korea (or as it is officially known, the DPRK - Democratic People’s Republic of Korea). This was my 6th trip to the DPRK. My detailed trip diary for this day can be seen HERE. Click on any image below to enlarge.
