omg idk why i loled when i saw the pool :/

you can see this was all stage for 'americans' see.

also, i always had weird fascination with north korea, way before my kpop fangirl days, and i always wanted to visit there.

I remember during the ONTD post for Kim Jong Il's funeral, people posted pictures of his compound and he had two pools or something. :/

You can read about one man's very detailed experience here if you still want to go: http://www.1stopkorea.com/index.htm?nk-trip1.htm~mainframe

and then push myself to the end..ngl i haven't since then been able to go on on waterslides like that

why are the roads so empty?

[info]goshipgurl

December 30 2011, 20:34:34 UTC 4 months ago

iirc cars are expensive in north korea so most people dont have one
gas is apparently really cheap there tho

[info]mrawwe

It seems so empty though.

It looks so desolate with no cars on the roads and the buildings looking all the same with no signs.

[info]sglitzys

December 30 2011, 19:28:45 UTC 4 months ago

Surprise to see an amusement park but it's what they want us to see. Also why the need for such big roads when the government issue cars, it's a waste of money in that case.

I don't believe anything I see- from any country's media to be honest. Some may call this propaganda but there's some form of propaganda everywhere (Although I can only speak in for the US since that's where I've lived most of my life). Some is just more overt than others, imo.

And still they have better roads than we have in Poland OTL...

It really does look like going back in time. Everything is so drab and dated. It's just so sad.

[info]neechee_striped

December 30 2011, 22:15:09 UTC 4 months ago
