Where am I?

Update:  Claire from Zig Zag on Earth guessed right!  This is a shot I took during the Mass Games in North Korea (DPRK for those in the know).

The Mass Games are North Korea's answer to the Olympics, though as far as I could tell they had very little in common.  The sheer scale of the performance is impressive though.  At one point, up to 100,000 performers were coordinating their movements in a stadium-like setting!

For those of you interested in a truly unique experience, Koryo Tours specializes in bringing people into North Korea.  They have tours for Americans and for everyone else, with different lengths and locations based on interest.  I traveled with them in 2009 and was impressed with the tour, the guides, and the location itself.  Definitely one of the more unique places you'll see, and it's very likely you'll end up with one of the most seasoned tour groups you could come across.

For your challenge this week, a scene from a show, but can you tell where?  Good luck!

  1. Well, without your map of visited countries, I would never have guessed... Because this is such an unlikely place to travel to.
    But after seeing you went to North Korea, it was easy to check.
    How was your time there?

    1. You're good! I had quite a few messages begging for hints on this one, and none of them guessed it. Good going!
