One thing we see clearly about North Korea is they sure must love to drink.




Belgrade, Serbia

Children play in their room at a refugee camp near Belgrade. Since the closure of the Balkan route last year, the country has become a cul-de-sac for around 4,000 migrants, mostly from Afghanistan and Pakistan, who want to start new lives in the European Union but cannot cross its borders.

The question we always ask is what about the children?

This was likely a conflicting duty assignment for at least a few of the cops but I don't believe there was any violence.





Amdsterdam, Netherlands

Sculptor is John Chamberlain and the name is "Nude Pearls"

Another example of sculpture the world never needed in the first place.  That name doesn't seem it could be correct when nothing in this work evokes any kind of thought of pearls, nude or otherwise.
