I'm planning on going there some time this year hopefully, if it isn't  a nuclear slag heap  by then. I recommend the various vice documentaries on YouTube. The weirdest one is when they head to deepest Russia to seek out logging camps filled with north Koreans sent there to work for years on end. When they eventually do manage to interview some workers they didn't seem to understand the concept of a day off.

LOL this reminds of the movie the Interview with seth rogen and james franco. Though i don't think it's entirely the same as in the movie with all those fake fruits and all, but i agree. Pyongyang being the capital may be the best the north korea can show to the world. I'm curious as to how other provinces and cities really are though

But I do not think that Pyongyang is a good example for the entire country of North Korea.

The party leaders and elites of the state live in this capital, so the economic situation or supply of food is usually much better than in the rest of the country.

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.

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.

Maybe Blockbluster should move into North Korea - they still use DVDs.
