That last video is just really strange. It looks pretty nice buts its also a dystopian dictatorships capital where people have no freedoms and a live off of the horrific poverty of the countryside.
This is obviously part of the campaign for kim jong un's new game.
here's the airport

for whoever wants to go to a [URL="http://www.dprk360.com/utc/"]8 day tour to NK[/URL], the price is about 1.500$
I wouldn't call 'Just China' exactly open.
I'd actually like to go to their war museum. It would be interesting to see what sort of warped view they have on the Korean war.

Is it me or this image is slightly creepy/eerie/unnerving
It appears to be in the dead of the night, the bus has barely any occupants, and it's just sort of "there"

Kind of like my last game of Tropico..
So the guy is a singaporean apparently, never knew we had any people going there.
Apparently we have a embassy here.
Sucks that a beautiful country is run by the worst leaders, turning it into a shithole.
That's eerie as fuck. None of the buildings on the sides of the road are occupied, everyone is just walking on the street doing seemingly nothing.
And it's so quiet.
Should I find it strange that the bus pulls up in front of what appears to be an Iranian diplomat car at the end of the last video?

What i like best in the last video is that we have to listen awesome howling wind sound from the beginning to the very end. This makes it even eerie, like a part of some horror movie.
THey could replace it with some music at least.
I can't help but notice that, in the third video, around 2:39, there is a Chevrolet Astro passing in the opposite lane. That's an American vehicle, and, to my knowledge, has never been joint-produced by China or produced as a knock-off by NK. I wonder how that ended up there.

The North Korean government dislikes the U.S. and we don't trade with them. I would imagine it would be able to obtain a car from America.
Wow! Pyongyang looks almost like Danzig!

First (or second?) owner was probably chinese.
Old cars tend to end up at interesting places.
Oh man, everything looks so clean, sterile and artificial.

Oh there is much trade between US and DPRK, annual sales in exports are usually 1-15million USD. Very small amount but there is trade, especially with cars and.. whiskey ! North Korea is one of the largest destinations of Hennessy's Whiskey in the world, costs reaching over 1million USD annually
Would love to go on a photo-trip to NK.

Huh. Alright. Looking into it more, I'm starting to find a little more that says stuff akin to what you are.
