Google CEO's Daughter Shares Pictures Taken in North Korea

We all dream of the ideal places to go on trips to take pictures, but there's one place that not a lot of people get to visit - North Korea. Sophie Schmidt, daughter of former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, took a recent trip to the closed-off country and shared both her experiences and photographs from her visit.

If you've not had a peek into North Korea before, it might not be what you expect. Some of the architecture is stunning, cars look relatively recent and their university is fairly well equipped. Despite all of these modern touches, there are still photographs that look like those of the Soviet Union under Stalin.
