I noticed that even Pyongyang wasn't labeled in Google Maps. Strange. Thanks for the help. I noticed that even Pyongyang wasn’t labeled in Google Maps. Strange.

The concentration camps, or kwan li so, are much easier to find because of the fences and guard posts surrounding them. None of those exist near Pyongsong, and Ling and Lee wouldn't be sent to one.

I'm thinking they may be held in one of the villas in the area instead of an actual prison camp.

I scrolled all around North Korea at various magnifications using satellite view with labels turned 'on'. No labels for North Korea. They're present for South Korea, China and Russia. But not for North Korea. I went to Pyongyang: Google can find it for me but no labels whatsoever. Is this typical? I wanted to scout out Pyongsong and see if I could find the camp but this is impossible. A question: I used Google maps to try and find Pyongsong.
