A photo we captured on one of our Belarus tours. This is a Soviet era department store that is still very popular with locals, and YPT travellers, alike. The cognac coffee with cinnamon is a must try and a great accompaniment to checking out the mass of Soviet artwork inside! 🇧🇾

A sight for sore eyes. The appearance of these ladies selling refreshments is a sure sign customs has been cleared at Sinuiju station, and is your cue to relax and enjoy a bottle of Taedonggang beer or Kangso mineral water, two iconic North Korean beverages.

The Songdowon hotel at the seaside in Wonsan is one of the best places to stay for unspoiled retro vibes in North Korea, and if you love seafood then it’s an unmissable chance to enjoy the day’s catch grilled up on a BBQ behind the hotel washed down with a glass or two of soju. The hotel has spectacular views over the city and the bay. To find out more about the hotel check the link in our bio to find out what our guide @sihaywood has to say about it.
