Autumn

Follow me into Japan’s ember-bright corners; spider lilies, mountain temples, and quiet towns glowing between summer and snow.

North Korea by train, Kaesong and the DMZ

We arrived at carriage No.13 on time but was turned down at the door. Apparently there is another carriage No.13 at the end of train, that is 'especially' prepared for foreigners going to North Korea.

Some crowds
About 27 hours on the train Beijing → Pyongyang (can be longer depending on border/customs delays); plus several hours of stops around Dandong/border procedures.
