28 Hours in Pyongyang

A reporter's notebook...

Pyongyang airport was largely empty when the US delegation arrived recently
for Secretary of State Michael Pompeo's talks with the North Koreans.

As we descended onto the tarmac at Pyongyang Sunan International Airport, locals emerged from the busies to see the "United States of America" aircraft land, Tara Palmari reports on abcnews.com.

We were in territory so forbidden, so foreign, even the scarecrows lining the runway seemed alien with their emoji-like smiley faces, Palmari wrote.

The airport had three terminals -- the word written in English -- but not a single aircraft at the Jetways.  There were no signs of life inside either, she added.
