To finish the celebration of Kim Il Sung's birthday, Pyongyang was treated to an amazing fireworks display over the river. I walked through the darkness with my group to the viewing location along the river. On my way back, I was surprised to find that there were almost no streetlights at all - the only illumination at night was for the monuments, and almost none of the public walkways had any lights on.
