they had some old ass boomboxes for their media room. 1 ipod could probably hold more than they're entire library.

Welcome To North Korea (highly recommended)

This completely backs the VICE video. It really is bizarre how that country is run. It is just eerie how there is virtually NO one on the streets. What do N. Korean people do all day? They all really have to get up at 7 AM? Wowzers.

Did anyone else notice that in EVER room in EVERY building/monument, there is ALWAYS 2 pictures hung up side by side...Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il? EVERY ROOM...in the schools, hotels, bars, restaurants, subway stations, border patrol headquarters....EVERYWHERE. It is their equivalent to Jesus on the cross in Mexico X1000.

I felt like i was re-watching the vice video. Same monuments, same hotel, some stupid fucking desk that they're so proud of, same subway.

they had some lady directing traffic with no traffic!? WTF??!

is it all planned? What about the rural parts ok NK, are they under the same strict guidlines or is that only in Pyongyang?

it just boggles my fuckin mind to think that they have 2, 45-room hotels that are just completely empty and fully staffed?

Fuck i wish we could see whats really going on!

I think what is even more weird is that Kim Jong-il is an American movie fanatic, and know a lot about American pop culture... as he enjoys it.

If i go to North Korea, im gonna sneak a newspaper or ipod in my asscheeks or something, well maybe not the newspaper lmao, but then ill just accidently "drop" it when the guards aren't looking so an unsuspecting NK citizen picks it up and his head explodes once he starts to play around with it.
