Rare photos depict life on the North Korea subway

Getting from point A to point B can be quite an experience on a busy day, but when you’re living in North Korea commuting is another experience entirely.

Tasmania-based photographer Elliott Davies has made a series of photographs that charts his experience travelling through the North Korean underground system.

Buried 110 metres below the ground, this underground is supposed the deepest in the world and each station decorated with paintings, statues and propaganda.

While North Korea probably isn’t the first place on most of our holiday lists, this video does provide an interesting look at life above the 38th parallel.

What did you think of these photographs, and how do you feel it compares to your experience of public transport in our country?
