Zero commercial advertisement is good indeed. I remember, in Sweden there's zero commercial advertisement on TV as well.Anyway, North Korea deserves more tourists coming in to see the nation as it is, as it was labeled 'most harmonious nation' in the world; especially with the decades-old U.S. and Western sanctions which caused over a million N. Koreans deaths in starvation in the past. I like to see peace and prosperity that the country richly deserves. blog.chinadaily.com.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=785423

pyongyang is a very spread out city. it has alot of people but they are not usually concentrated in one area at one time. north korea's population also took a massive hit when the US blockaded north korea after the fall of the USSR and they suddenly could not feed their country for a few years, even today the government tries to squeeze as much food out of the limited farmland available in the country as they can and they still can't quite get to everyone.

They do this all at the same time in tidy groups. It really is very odd... Apparently they wanted to see an archetypical English village so the coach to Bicester Village (where they *really* want to go - there are Chinese websites devoted to the place) stopped in humble Kidlington (nice enough but hardly a place of note) and they all got off and started photographing the place. This became a regular thing for a while and it was so surreal that the Times ran a leader about it.

A little fun fact about the Pyongyang Metro trains. These trains, as seen in this video, were manufactured and used for public transport in West Berlin between 1955-1965. After this series was eventually exchanged for newer and more modern trains, the BVG (Berlin Public Transport) decided to sell the discarded trains to North Korea in the late 1990's. ^^

The subway carts are formerly from the GDR, East Germany. They were used in Berlin for decades before they were bought by North Korea. A German broadcaster once filmed a documention in the North Korean subway, and the journalist was able to find a scratch mark with his name tag he made back when he was a child in Berlin :D Totally crazy! The North Koreans weren't too happy though when he pointed that out. They did not wanted to seem as if they only had old and discarded stuff lol

@BarracksSi 5 лет назад

That's what was missing, and I didn't even realize it. Looking again, I would've expected to see birds in public squares like at the Worker's Monument (6:02) but there are none at all. Maybe it's because there isn't any trash to attract them, but you'd think there would still be worms or insects to sustain some birds. Great observation.

@hazri8758 5 лет назад

@@BarracksSi or maybe the reason that almost no birds sighted is because the government don't want any birds shit staining their "Gods" statues, so they decided to kill all the birds.

No, he is right... If you go there, your first trip is to the Kim statue, you have to bow before them. You get filmed and they use it, showing that even people outside of our country are coning to bow in front of our dear leaders/Gods. You MUST bow, if you go there. Now, would you go and bow in front of Hitlers statue? The Kims are possibly even worst than Hitler was.

@CrankCase08 3 года назад

@@ruthboglarvisky6488 Bowing to a pair of statues is a negligible price to pay, and it's only expected if visitors walk up closely to them. Furthermore, visiting the statues is not compulsory. Bow before Hitler's statue? Why not?
