I am surprised North Korea isnt as terrifying and as bad as the media claims it to be. This shows how mislead we are by the media. There is no truth and integrity within the media nowadays.
The media exaggerates like always so must always take anything they say with a grain of salt but at the same time that is the city little towns probably have way worst standards of living.

Go visit the country and then you will have the right to comment that North Korea is a fine place to live. I am aware of stupidity and propaganda in western media but we have enough of independent sources showing the truth about life in NK.
What you saw in these pictures is the largest and probably the only city in NK where you will see private cars on the streets.
Look here, other NK cities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_North_Korea#/media/File:Hamhung_view.jpg

My friend, I would not want to argue with you, but I dare say a few words. Citizens of North Korea, these people are a thousand times stupefied than they were in the Soviet Union.

I also tought that Christianity and other religions are banned in North Korea, but I checked this article and found that North Korea have small Christians community
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_North_Korea
Mostly people in North Korea are atheists, but they have few traditional religions.

According to a pastor who has been to North Korea, there are some 11,000 Christians in North Korea. The authorities tolerate the already existing Christian community, to a certain extent. But attempts to make new conversions are foiled, and anyone engaging in proselytizing is severely punished.
Kim Jong Un wants to project himself as a re-incarnation of some oriental god. But I am not sure to what extent that works among the general population in North Korea. The country is not as isolated as everyone thinks about it. Pirated DVDs of Hollywood movies are easily available in the black market.

Cities like Pyongyang is where the elite North Koreans reside. So obviously the living standards will be much higher than the other regions. Also, the life in North Korea has become a lot tolerable during the last 10-15 years.
Sad point to think about is that even in the most built up places in North Korea where most of the elite reside is also a place where DVD's and other technologies that most developed nations have mostly stopped using altogether. Some people are still keen on using them but most DVD shops and stuff along those lines have been taken over by online digital services such as Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, and so on.
Would really hope that the North Korean regime is overthrown in order to allow the development of North Korea to really occur.
I think that Christianity is officially banned in North Korea.

Maybe Blockbluster should move into North Korea - they still use DVDs.
Look's like there are still places where you can make money selling Tom and Jerry cartoons. World is so strange... From the pictures one could assume they aren't so poor. They even have subway in there, while most cities in Europe don't.
Is Pyongyang where most of the Christian people in North Korea are?
It's cool to see the inside of North Korea again instead of with a potato camera lol thanks for the youtube video Sex Video Chat VKcams.com.

I think that Christianity is officially banned in North Korea. Missionaries are usually executed immediately or sent to penal colonies if caught proselytizing. In this regard, North Korea is very similar to Saudi Arabia (although KSA mostly deports the missionaries without harsh sentencing).

All citizens are brainwashed and believe that North Korea is the best country on the planet Earth.
That is an incorrect statement. Brainwashing no longer works. North Korea is flooded with DVDs of Chinese and Hollywood movies. People know what is going on outside their isolated nation.
You have to be aware that foreigners in Korea don't have freedom to go anywhere.
They can visit only places allowed by the government.

Check the Youtube channel. This dude go around Pyongyang with a body camera.

Very interesting photos, thank you for sharing.

North Korea is very isolated and closed country, without any real freedom.
All citizens are brainwashed and believe that North Korea is the best country on the planet Earth.
It's like in Orwell's book ''1984''.
They also trying to manipulate all foreigners, showing only the best places in their country.
In reality, people are poor and literally starving in N. KOrea.
It's so sad reality.

The picture of North Korea in my head is not what the picture is showing. What I imagine about the residential and commercial areas of North Korea is an area that is full of armory and barracks of army ready to get into war. Maybe I am just overthinking about what is North Korea. I have grown up believing that people in North Korea have a hard time living their life since military troops are almost everywhere.
The troops are everywhere, even in the posh areas of Pyongyang. If the military doubts that you are planning to defect to South Korea, then the entire family will be sent to penal colonies.
So I'm not interested in spreading and sharing western mainstream opinion against North Korea.
But I also don't want to share this propaganda of the North Korean leaders.
And everyone knows, in recent decades in North Korea there have been several famines.
A lot of people died because of hunger and infection due to poor health... which are also facts for the other regions.

By the way, it's really strange that American cartoons are sold in the DVD kiosks. America is biggest evil for North Korea.
How do you know the cartoon's dialogue hasn't been changed to spout nothing but anti imperialist rhetoric? That would give them great satisfaction.
I think mostly photos and videos shows life in North Korea better than it really is. All tourists, journalists can take photos only when their guides or other controling people allow to do it. And there are only few routes for foreign people which they can visit. Everything is done to avoid showing of real life of North Korea.
