In this June 27, 2017 photo, Honduran refugee Laura Maria Cruz Martinez, 40, arrives home from work to the building where she, her three children and her niece share a two-bedroom apartment with a Salvadoran refugee and her daughter, in the Iztapalapadistrict of Mexico City. The working class neighborhood of Iztapalapa has a reputation for crime, but the family says they feel much safer than they did back in Honduras, where they lived on the hotly disputed boundary between two rival gang territories and shootouts were frequent. "What drives me is seeing my daughters grow up and seeing them in a different atmosphere," Cruz said. "You can see the difference in them." (AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell)

In this June 27, 2017 photo, Honduran refugee Laura Maria Cruz Martinez shields herself from a rainy season downpour with a thin plastic poncho as she walks from the medical supply store where she works to the nearest subway station, in the Doctores neighborhood of Mexico City. It hasn't always been easy adjusting to this megalopolis of 20 million-plus, with its crowded subway and unfamiliar, slang-heavy Spanish, but at least she and her children are safe from the gangs rampaging back home.

The rise in refugee resettlement in Mexico has paralleled a decrease in immigration to the United States, with apprehensions by U.S. Border Patrol down sharply at the frontier, especially of unaccompanied children and families.

Pyongyang. INCREDIBLE images taken in the last month show the reality of life in North Korea as tensions continue to simmer withAmerica. Stunning shots show happy North Korea people going about their daily business in town squares and train stations while kids listen to an accordion player. Other astonishing pictures show the spectacular beauty of the country with the capital Pyongyang illuminated at night while skyscrapers stretch across the city. Temples and beautiful countryside landscape pictures are alsoshowcased. The rare photographs, which offer a unique glimpse behind the veil, were taken on a trip to the country by web designer Reuben Teo (31) from Sarawak, Malaysia.

North Korea's hidden beauty, in picturesGALLERY PHOTOS


“I was stopped once while taking photos at the flower exhibition because there seemed to be a portrait of Kim Jong-un which I did not notice. I was told that I couldn't shoot in that direction but no reason was given."REUBEN TEO / MEDIADRUMWORLD.COM

GALLERY PHOTOS


“During my trip, we were told not to shoot three things,” he explained. “It was the military, military checkpoints and construction sites. As long as I followed these rules, no one stopped me from taking any photographs. I was free to take photos from my car, while walking on the streets and so on."Above, Pyongyang.REUBEN TEO / MEDIADRUMWORLD.COM

GALLERY PHOTOS


Mr Teo was only told not to photograph three things while he was there and believes his pictures show a different side to North Korea than how it is usually portrayed in the mediaREUBEN TEO / MEDIADRUMWORLD.COMGALLERY PHOTOS


“I also discovered that North Korea has been stuck in time, most notably in the 80s. It was like a living time capsule. Despite all these, there was still a lot of beauty within the closed doors of North Korea."Above, Masikryong, famous for its ski resort at the summit of the 1,360-metre Taehwa Peak some 20 kilometres outside Wonsan City in Kangwon Province.REUBEN TEO / MEDIADRUMWORLD.COM

“The country is also extremely clean and I can honestly tell you that it sits next to Japan in terms of cleanliness. Put North Korea in your list of exotic destinations to visit.”REUBEN TEO / MEDIADRUMWORLD.COM

“They may not have the same standards of

aesthetics as we have but their interpretation of beauty was unique and utterly amazing. I saw beauty in their cities, their natural landscapes and in the people.”REUBEN TEO / MEDIADRUMWORLD.COM

“North Korea may not be your ‘modern’ or ‘wealthy’ country by

Western standards, but it is in fact unique in its own way and the people are one of the friendliest I’ve ever met throughout my travels to many places."REUBEN TEO / MEDIADRUMWORLD.COM

“As time passes and through more observations during the trip, I began to see that North Korea actually does have real life within its society."REUBEN TEO / MEDIADRUMWORLD.COM

The attacks underscore the intense violence still plaguing the battered nation and the perils that will remain even after IS militants are pushed out of Mosul.
