The tallest flagpole in the world, in the village Kichong-dong in North Korea, close to the Joint Security Area in panmunjeom and the demarkation line. A few notes: the pole is 160 metres tall, the flag weighs about 270 kg. Two persons are visible outside in the middle lower edge.
Hah, didn't North and South Korea compete in building the tallest flagpole? They started to build them near the border and built them higher and higher in order to "win" over the other country's pole.
Sometimes I think NK wuld have such a better rep if the weather were different
Maybe you have a photo of that city, which was build for propaganda? Near the border :] Nobody lives there... :D
>>152626A few people apparently live there to turn the lights on everynight

The tallest flagpole in the world... as if North Korea had no other problems. Sometimes I think that Einstein's estimate of human stupidity was way too optimistic...
