No, it does not spell out Hollywood. But we did have an interesting experience with the bathrooms. After our visit, folks needed to use the restrooms. Jerry was on his way up to the main building but was told no, those restrooms are out of order. So, we walked a ways to the other side of the farm to a communal building that also had restrooms. Only it was locked and no one knew how to find the keys in a timely manner. So, we went back to the main building. We learned that they were out of order because there was no electricity to light up the rather dark bathrooms. So, our flashlights came in handy. And then we noticed something else... This was the second or third place where we came across urinals that had trap plumbing next to them, only the urinals were not connected to the plumbing. If you used the wrong urinal, you just ended up peeing on your shoes.

Instructions on how to navigate the ship in 'stealth mode' apparently. Although one might have thought that, when not lit up, it would be all the more important to avoid other shipping!

I was astonished to see this nameplate, dating back to the early/mid 1960s, that actually mentioned the NSA specifically by name. Back then it was so ultra-secret that you needed a high level clearance even to be allowed to know it existed. Even the most secretive people apparently have blind spots.

The USS Pueblo, looking rather neglected and unloved.

Hilda, Gene, David T, Kim and Carol. Not sure who is in the red.

A square at the model cooperative farm.

Not sure what these signs lining the square at the farm say

Looking out past the square to the farmlands beyond

A statue of Kim il Sung and farm workers

A wider shot of the statue. Mark and Jerry with their backs to the camera, John further off to the right, not sure who is on the extreme right. Probably Judith in the blue top.
