I’m cruising through the streets of Pyongyang in a taxi, from the Taedong River company. Staring fare 98 won ($1), cost me $4 to get across town. The driver used to drive a minibus but moved to taxis in September last year when his company reduced the number of buses it operates. #everydaydprk #northkorea #Pyongyang #dprk

This is, apparently, the target used by “Eternal President” Kim Il Sung to shoot North Korea’s first domestically produced rifle, in 1948. Not a bad shot for his first go, huh? First on today’s agenda for visiting foreign reporters: the Pyonchon revolutionary site, home of North Korea’s first munitions factory. “Respected Leader” Kim Jong Un has visited twice, most recently in December last year, and he told the staff to turn it into “a center for education on the songun idea, referring to North Korea’s “military first” policy. #northkorea #Pyongyang #dprk #bullseye

My North Korean state-mandated armband, which says “Reporter” in Korean. We had to pay 30 euros each for the privilege of wearing it this week, and if lose it/nick it, we will be slapped with a 50 euro fine. #everydaydprk #northkorea #Pyongyang #dprk

North Korean children singing at a kindergarten on the outskirts of Pyongyang today, just as reporters happened to visit. The sign in the entrance read “We are happy.” #everydaydprk #northkorea #Pyongyang #dprk

Today in random North Korean hotel gift shop finds: a unicycle. Only $126. (Not pictured: camera batteries that expired in 2012.) #everydaydprk #northkorea #Pyongyang #dprk

Pyongyang at dusk. The smoke stacks are chugging away – and that’s reflected in the fact that there’s an unusual amount of electricity right now. Decorative lights on buildings and flood lights in Kim Il Sung Square are on, part of the build up for the Workers’ Party congress that starts on Friday. #northkorea #Pyongyang #dprk

North Koreans shop for Japanese products – including kewpie mayonnaise and Bulldog sauce – in the Kwangbok department store in Pyongyang. It seems that ordinary people really do shop at the supermarket here. #northkorea #Pyongyang #dprk #everydaydprk

Five liter bottles of soju (Korean firewater) on sale at the Kwangbok (revolution) department store in Pyongyang. That works out at $2.58. That’s very cheap for the worst hangover of your life. #northkorea #Pyongyang #dprk #everydaydprk

North Korean kids are out on the streets practicing their flag waving ahead of the Workers’ Party congress that opens Friday. #northkorea #Pyongyang #dprk #everydaydprk

Everywhere you go in Pyongyang these days you see this: people walking and talking on their cellphones. There’s no internet in North Korea but people with the Aririang smartphone can access the intranet, play games, take pictures of their kids. #northkorea #Pyongyang #dprk #everydaydprk

Hello from Pyongyang, North Korea. Our @washingtonpost reporting team of me, @linda.davidson and @jaldag arrived here yesterday on a week-long trip. This was the view from my hotel this morning. We will be covering the Workers’ Party congress that opens on Friday, and tweeting lots of pictures along the way. To be clear, we are not getting a “rare glimpse” of North Korea We are seeing the best parts of the capital city, where the elite who are loyal to Kim Jong Un and his regime live. But I will be trying to catch some candid moments along the way. #Pyongyang #northkorea #dprk #everydaydprk
