Pyongyang Traffic Lady Changing of the Guard

[ToadStoolxX]

I see they take their job very seriously. I like that they have little umbrellas to protect them from the sun and rain though, thats very nice and thoughtful.

[budeiri123]

north korea nice clean streets with nice cars.... the media has played with our minds, making us think that theyr barbarians

[FrankinKal96]

@budeiri123 This is Pyongyang, a show city. We barely know what the rest of the country looks like, but it's probably safe to say that it's not like this.

[listerone]

As they were changing one said to the other "has your application for an exit vsa been approved yet?' and the reply was "no,has yours been approved?"

[furvert101]

this is so trippy! 

[FightingBen]

to cross the street you just have to watch right and left then CROSS BITCH

[kwisi]

0:27 o_o nice mercedes

[MrTerrificII]

Weird

[zaftMauritius]

Meanwhile Pyongyang...... rather

[NLSJ]

Traffic lights? They are just luxuries in decadent Western countries such as Nigeria.

[cali4nian]

soooo.. which hand signal is green light and which hand signal is red light?

[RK831]

Do they have to march that way to the ladies' room, too?

[azad5932]

Fuck that was hilarious; the most robotic cop you'll ever see!. I'm sure Samsung can design and build robots to do this job. But it makes me wondor. If the roads and all other transport infrastructure is so well-built and operating far below capacity, then why is there a need for traffic police? Aren't there traffic lights?

[pgice]

@azad5932 they dont have power enough to use traffic lights.

[MontezumaUH60]

So how did you even get into North Korea let alone get a video out?

[Toyman07]

@MontezumaUH60

Not that hard for non Americans. But even for them there are ways to go on a government sponsored tour of NK and they tell you what you can or cannot filem etc.. But beware if you ever do go there do not break any and I mean any of their rules etc. Because they do not dick around and you may end up in prison or worst.

[SteelCityDucati]

This is their biggest city, and the streets look deserted.

[ScarFosS]

LOVED THE AD IN THE BG!!

[dus2cra]

Where's the traffic?

[ngoclinhkhue]

@dus2cra .

The Pyongyang city Traffic of North Korea .

Gender inequality of gender bias, has not in the North Korea. You can see women as soldiers, the traffic police or working in factories.

[Nuclear12331]

What if they have to take a piss? And, do they understand traffic lights were created years ago?....

[Drestlin]

@Nuclear12331 they dont have electricity to spare i think

[BeingSamee]

stay hungry. stay foolish! :p

[AMGM88]

so what happens if one of them want to pee in the middle of service?

[ScarFosS]

@AMGM88 I guess they just dont and the guard really has to be for about 2-4h max per officer

[burnit01]

Meanwhile in Seoul......

[crimson2knight]

@burnit01 Meanwhile in the Philippines

[MyNinjaIsMissing]

I like the nice touch of propaganda behind her!!!

[Ferreal92]

They should of started making out.

[siuwed]

now if they ever get some cars...

[RemzRazor12]

They look like bobot with out being programming....(Fucking Liar Bitch)

[Livingvibe2]

Must be rush hour I saw 3 cars

[cali4nian]

@Livingvibe2 - LMAO!! That was good one. :D

[RDJ1109]

@Livingvibe2 I counted 8 in a period of 90 seconds.  Not exactly rush hour when compared to most major cities of the world.

[Livingvibe2]

@RDJ1109 anywayss ....it was a joke. Sorry you didn't get it.

[RDJ1109]

@Livingvibe2 The problem with typing a comment is that the reader can't hear voice inflextion. I was making a light hearted comparison of north korean traffic compared to major western cities. Don't be so defensive and assume people are talking shit.

[Livingvibe2]

@RDJ1109 Fair enough. You're right, text usually lacks emotional ques. My bad. Thanks for clarifying. :-]



[J5MARLON]

At least they got some Mercedes there.

[dejanrajs]

bravo

[vomitronic]

"Die Mensch Maschine

Halb Wesen und halb Ding"

[yalesonny]

bravo North Korea. F**king bullshit. How the hell can they run this country.

[EmiRozitu]

That's North Korea for you. Creating jobs out of nothing.

[whatswrongwithyouful]

shit on xanex this job would be a cake walk

[king7allah]

What's the fucking purpose this is bullshit

[Watchdawg]

How long are their work hours? Do they get any breaks?

[ZX2ManDave]

This is just what America needs. Cute little Asian girls directing traffic. 

[YrPimp]

0:27 MERCEDEZ CLASS C 220 ON NORTH KOREA LOOOOL?

[brelamich]

@YrPimp How do you know if it's a C220 ? It's just a C class.

[YrPimp]

@brelamich i work on a mercedez stand...

[MyFuhreur]

So N Korea has yet discovered something called traffic lights!

[borodungal]

how if to pass urine?

[djnas76]

nobody's paying attention to them at all,as if they don't exist!

[superbboys]

It is hard to convince me they're working rather than wasting their life to replace a traffic light.

[Paralyzer]

I have beeen to north korea back in 08. you can film, and take pictures, but your guids or guards who follow you all the time tell you what you can film and not film. they allow you to take pictures and film what they want you to see. if you film something you are not supposed to they threathen you with criminal action. and that means go to jail in north korea.

[Paralyzer]

idk why, but this is starting to turn me on.. .

[pvn2474]

It looks sick...

[xllxist]

Tiring..

[ninuxy]

Wasting your time and life doing shit like this all day long. How can you grow in life by doing something a traffic light is supposed to do?

Has anyone noticed how little traffic they have? There are no cars even in the busiest cross sections.

[SeleNazzy]

@ninuxy You know those soldiers in Britain that aren't allowed to even move during their shift ?

[auxhernandez81]

@ninuxy flipping burgers is also not a waste of life.. I'm just saying.. we have jobs here in America that suck too. don't act like only they have shit jobs.

[ninuxy]

@auxhernandez81 Ya, bunch of teenagers doing it for a while, then moving along is hardly an excuse for this pre-1920, technologically scarce nonsense.

[loicalex]

I am robot

[pote2639conan]

@loicalex Beep Boop Son. Beep Boop

[kuo2002]

How did they allow you to shoot this? I thought they freak out about filming pretty much anything that isn't a mass game

[apexwiddy]

Yes, _very_ pretty tree... let us raise hands in air... thank you dear leader for all we have... look! another car!... soon pretty girl needs mate... I trade her for bowl dear leader uncle rice...

[FollowApeLaw]

Being a traffic director in North Korea is very hard work. You have to keep an eye out for car. Sometimes there's another car, but if you ask me I think it's just the same car going around the block.

[rofyle]

In Communist North Korea, traffic light changes you.

[hyspaniol030]

SO RIDICULOUS.....

[titiduru61]

Did you hear the cars honking ???

Pretty heavy traffic !!!

[RomanianUser]

i wonder what those people walking on the streets talk about. what can robots and machines talk about anyway o_O "oh look, a tree,it's a beautiful tree." "Yes, very beautiful tree.."

[oringent]

@RomanianUser and what do you talk about all day you american fool? what burger to eat next? who lady gaga will marry? You live in the brainwashed, fucked up country, you fool!

[RomanianUser]

@oringent I am romanian and I hate fast food or lady gaga. I only like piano music and drinking green tea.

[KevinSun242]

HD camera in Pyongyang? Wao.

[killbill402]

How cute

[iSkateNJx]

And I thought my job sucked.....

[3idjn7]

The sad thing is, this is how life should be lived... with a mind on the greater good rather than the selfishness... too bad it can only be achieved under a heavy oppression and dictatorship. Humanity is so young!

[prachtwijkdocu]

Her ass so tight from stress... if you put a lump of coal up there she'd be shitting out diamonds the next day

[TomaPartizani]

Look she has a job, unlike millions of westerners like me! When she goes home tonight she will have state provided food in a state provided house ALL FOR FREE. And look how good her figure is, no fat fucking jabba the huts in the DPRK.

[didylalahee]

aren't they tired or something?? curious

[MrBuzzialdrin]

i see more mercedes there than in america poor people i feel for them...but we love our Lincoln Navigators!

[lightsoul007]

These girls come down from the sky now? I wanna see a video of them dropping in!

[juki0h]

omg, use electricity already!

[nosecheese65]

@ArtificialRed1083 You are as culturally isolated as them :\

Ever seen the monotony of a super market checkout girl? Which job would you rather?

[14sJakeB190]

They are looking very modern now days. Kudos to Dear Leader!

[imjapanophile]

They should salute each other.

[hatemdesign]

wow they have new and high class cars??

[workonitm8]

Gotta hand it to the girls, they are very professional !

[TomJayable]

They remind me of The Sims, lol

[than217]

@TomJayable "Rabba ribba rabbida!"

[Urdalibertine]

They don't even seem to really greet each other,one walks on and the other one walks off.They say nothing they don't talk,they don't bs.Nothing.

[hapcimorgo]

@Urdalibertine Yes this is what called police discipline. What did you expect? Kiss and make out? This is a formal change not a friendly one...

[Soulflytribe04]

they look like birds

[spamkingalpha]

I will never complain about a job again ...

[CapitanBluebeard]

0:11 Buick LaCrosse

[turdsauce]

this is very very depressing

[brendan129]

@turdsauce No way, those chicks are hot as hell. I see rule #34 being implemented on this soon.

[belleberstinge]

@brendan129 You mean their uniforms are cute as hell.

[InfiniteUniverse88]

@turdsauce Why, because American crossing guards don't get protection from the rain?

[Badbones78]

How the heck did you manage to get into North Korea?

[zikun198]

@Badbones78 You can visit as a tourist ;)

[Vuvenz]

@Badbones78 Plane?

[daninbigd]

I just got back from the DPRK and was at this very intersection. This is all gone, sadly. They've moved all the cops to the side of the road and put in most traffic lights.

[anemiukaslt]

@daninbigd did anything else changed? :)

[Bimmersnob]

0:10, anyone else notice the AMERICAN Buick LaCrosse???

[tocaracer06]

@Bimmersnob I would double check on that....you sure it wasn't the Toyota Crown?

[Bimmersnob]

@tocaracer06 Car before it at 0:07 looks like an older Toyota Crown, but car at 0:10 is definitely a Buick LaCrosse. Buicks are popular in China, and this one was probably stol...err, imported from there.

[max0715]

咁多年都係無變過

[morpheus117]

Thanks for this video and the photos on flickr...they are great. Regards from Spain.

[zaruka]

David this is great. The change of the guard. And my favorite is on duty.
