Any closer shot of the plate? Maybe I have an own pic of it. The trolley buses in Pyongyang have three-digit-plates |

No closer view of this one but it starts with '3'. Here is another one, 340. ![]() ![]() |

Hmm, just by a short overview I cannot find no.340 among our over 2000 pics from the DPRK-trip, but for sure we had made pics of some Chollima 862. Err, I'm quite irritated now: why are the plates of the other vehicles pixeled? ![]() -- Last edit: 2013-01-25 21:31:38 |

Oh, actually the trolleybus plate is readable in the main picture. It's 333, can you see it?![]() I don't know why they blurred the other license plate though. -- Last edit: 2013-01-25 21:35:44 |

They probably have a standing policy to pixellate number plates for privacy reasons. I recently saw a paparazzo photo of filming in Liverpool for the new Jack Ryan film starring Chris Pine where the fake Russian plate on a Range Rover had been pixellated, probably by an editor who assumed that it was the car taking Pine back to the hotel. -- Last edit: 2013-01-25 21:36:53 |

P.S. Is it the same maintenance truck in the same place in this photo? http://www.chinesecars.net/content/chollima-working-platform |

Yes. It's always the same maintenance truck, which appears at all photo-series of every North Korea-tourist. Because it's parked always at the same place. A place, where every foreign tourist is brought to, because of the foreign book shop on the other side of the street. Where you can buy many Kim Il Sung-, Kim Jong Il and Juche-literature in several languages of the world. But I didn't want to waste luggage-capacity with that, so I only bought there the only available North Korean cooking book in foreign language (English) for my mother. And some 10-postcard-sets made in 1989 for 1 € each. Some postcards of them I've used (for example for Andre Malraux and IIRC for 130rapid, too) and the others I've sold on eBay for a fair price - 15,50 € last weekend ![]() |
