North Korea: Driving through the streets of Pyongyang, continued…

by in Asia, North Korea

Today I uploaded more footage taken while driving through Pyongyang.

The first video includes footage of Kim Il-Sung Square, the Ryugyong Hotel, Pyongyang Traffic Girls, and the Grand People’s Study House.

This second video was taken while driving through Pyongyang in the evening. There is not much to see, due to the lack of electricity, and therefore lighting, in Pyongyang.

  1. From Jorein Versteege:

    North Korea is one big show. A show that is running since 1948. All the people are actors in a giant propaganda show. The show is called ”Juche” and it is all about two leaders; Kim Jong Il and Kim Il Sung.

    This nation is not communist, not socialist, but a mix of monarchism with Korean nationalism and elements of stalinism. I hope to see the day when this show is cancelled.
