Stockholm probably has the most awesome metro of any city anywhere ever. Here are pictures. Look at them and be amazed.

I really like how they just didn't bother to hide all the rock that surrounds the subway station; they just integrated it into the design. This mostly just makes me sad though, because there aren't any subway systems in the United States that are this nice. Well, D.C.'s is close, but it's not nearly as cool as Stockholm's. Here are pictures of the D.C. metro; if you've played Fallout 3, you'll recognize the architecture.

Anyway, I thought it was neat. Also, here is some socalist realist art from North Korea. I like the second one. Actually, if you're a fan of North Korean propaganda, you should watch these videos:
