It's... too immaculate. Nothing's been touched or moved, everything is in perfect order. It's eerie, because it's a tell-tale sign that the store is a front, an illusion. It hides something by it's picture of perfection.
It has a story of times saying that Kim Jong have often sex with girls aged 9 and 12 years in Korea who are recruited by the head of the secret police for this.
And the families of the girls receive $ 100 in gratitude.
It is said that some mothers of these girls have committed suicide. It should be a sick pedophile. How can someone like him can exist?
@C1TeamMidNight Notice how the guy leaned across the table to silently ask to buy something. Then the camera cut away just before he got what he wanted.
Capitalism has been sitting on a bankrupt, by design, monetary system, since its birth.
—Do you know why they are not interested in fixing capitalist monetary system?
Capitalism is designed to enslave everybody under its influence and it is designed to take over ALL public and private production systems in the World!
That´s why capitalists train these INTERNET COCKROACHES to work for them, as their propaganda agents.
They upload these piles of media garbage, to feed their internet cockroaches!
Wow, those North Korean stores realy have everything a person could need. A razor, a toothbrush , a comb, razor, a toothbrush , a comb razor, a toothbrush , a comb, razor, a toothbrush , a comb, razor, a toothbrush , a comb, razor, a toothbrush , a comb razor, a toothbrush , a comb, razor, a toothbrush , a comb, razor, a toothbrush , a comb, razor, a toothbrush , a comb.
@cbohar84 The point is that the few tourists that do show up film and take pictures and buy a souvenir, with Dollars. It is an attempt to make the place look prosperous and normal. Just like the huge gymnastic stadium shows and performing arts schools where child orchestras play for the occasional visiting tourist and nobody else. Same as the huge empty hotels in Pyongyang. What outsiders see is nothing more than a gigantic smokescreen. N Korea is a very strange country.
Because we experience the same dam thing everyday. rocknroll,rap,jazz classical music. dull times in everyday life to see how life is diffferent in some other country. Thats why I like to feel alienated/cultureshock.
It wakes you up that there is more than just one way to live life.
And who is responsible for their alleged persecution, anyway, other than people?
So what's your point? Could it simply be that you, too, blow much raw persecution
out of your ass for dining pleasure? By the way, these persecuted souls people still fuck much, don't they, spend plenty of time fussing over their appearance, and enjoy plenty of family life and considerable freedom of movement away from
forced confinement, don't they? Just to be clear: you're not really talking . . . cont'd
everyone here needs to understand that North Korea isn't a communist state, it's 100% totalitarianism. Everything within the borders is controlled by one man and one man alone.
It's a sham. It's chinese made items they bought and put up in a building to mimic the capitalist type system for propaganda purposes. No N. Korean could ever afford such a purchase. I bet they're not even allowed to go in.
It's normal.Look at the movie title:"During the festival" and you see the answer.Do you think that the store is full of goods all the time? No,they do it because they want to show you happy life in communist system.This is a show only.Only for your eyes.After festival shelves were empty.
In USSR we also had a stores, where you could buy all sorts, for Hard currency, not rubels. They were not meant for regular people - only those who got the cash. Realistically, unless you are a ship crew or prostitute - you wouldn't have the dollars etc. ( I was a child , so you have to ask older people how it works exactly). This is what it looks like - as you can see no Koreans in the shop. I f someone mentioned it , sorry - could not read all the comments.
My guess is probably not. North Korea is known for fabricating stores, restaurants, and other businesses to make it look like they have more freedom, and a stronger economy than they actually have. For example, I hear that in pyongyang, they set up a few Catholic/Christian churches with actors to perform attendance, so that tourists beleive that the nation has religious freedom. Outside of pyongyang, it is probably a whole different story.
This is just my guess, but the benefits outweigh the costs. A dictatorship like the one in north korea wants to look good to the rest of the world, thus they have acted freedom (churches, stores, etc). In reality, the regime wants total control, and any access to freedom can compromise the safety of the regime. This is why north korea is willing to put on fake church performances and set up stores beyond the budget reach of the majority of their citizens. It makes them look better.
@RiseofBane Sure thing. Here are some links Link 1; news . bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4431321.stm link 2 religioustolerance . org/rt_nkor.htm I think wikipedia also has some information regarding north korea's staged church activities.
Wow! Are those shelves there full of goods? It's not like Poland was before 1989 where stores had empty shelves, so empty you had to wait a whole day in line just to get something like a loaf of bread or some milk. If a store had a delivery of anything like drinking glass or pickles, etc., word of mouth spread and within minutes a long line would form. Here not only there is no line, the shelves look full. Maybe people have no money to buy?
@goldenleggsandwood yep no money to buy, is the short answer. This is 1989, and a fake economy, cos the DPRK was hosting an international event. All fake!
@shakypam How you know it was fake? Where you there? Actually I have been in North Korea and I can pretty much tell you they have shopping markeds and department store like this with modern items and North Korean items. Cheap and good quality, heck they even sell PS3 and Sony LCD TV's
@SMGJohn How you know it was fake? Where you there? Actually I have been in North Korea and I can pretty much tell you they have shopping markeds and department store like this with modern items and North Korean items. Cheap and good quality, heck they even sell PS3 and Sony LCD TV's
@SMGJohn How did someone like you even manage to get on the right plane? You can't even spell Were.... or don't know how to use the proper way of using where..
@blooalex21 The right plane? Well unlike you I actually read my ticket and what gate I am going too. But I understand that you must be too retarded to actually get inside the airport...
Actually I spelled quit correct it's just you that can't read. So you failed
@SMGJohn LOOK AT WHAT YOU WROTE... "Where you there?" Apparently you didn't use were but where. You got to stop thinking that your right all the time and accept the fact that you aren't a perfect human being.
@blooalex21 Yes I used 'where' in that sentence. What are you even trying to prove? That you're a fucking imbecile!? Do I even give a shit if I spell correct? NO! I don't, for all I care I don't give a flying fuck about writting errors or spelling errors. Go get a life
@shakypam North Korea is in a hard situation. Allot of famines has striked the country and crop failures. That's why North Korean people are badly feed, USA ain't making it any better either.
@shakypam They sell it just as much as they sell it else where fool. If you seriously think North Korea is a poor 12th century country then you must be 100% American and living in a cave
@shakypam SMGJohn has to be an Anti-American South Korean (or its immigrant in US) who got not much but some education in the US judging from his level of English. There are many of North Korean PR morons like him among South Koreans... particularly among financially not so well doing demographics.
@SMGJohn Really? Where do they plug these electronic devices in? Because when you look at North Korea from space at night, there are no lights and no evidence of any electricity being used whatsoever.
I read in a highly detailed book "under the loving care of the dear leader" on how this youth festival pretty much bankrupted the country. It was one of the causes of their great starvation and breakdown of food distribution in the 90's... well that and the fact that their "brilliant" leader flooded what little arable land the north has with his great barrage project.
@goldenleggsandwood Man i remember those days in poland as a kid back in early 80's when shit really started to hit the fan. the stores were full of stuff you couldn't afford since inflation was so high. the line ups were mostly for food stuffs like meat of any kind or powdered milk plus you had to use ration cards for groceries. the longest lineups that i remember were for toilet paper LOL.
@goldenleggsandwood Same happened in Romania before 1989 when the Revolution took place. Empty shelves, only one brand of butter, about two brands of soda. Lines forming since 4 in the morning to get our monthly ratio of sugar, milk and coocking oil. About once every 2-3 months you got to buy real meat. I hated that period.
@goldenleggsandwood Dont get carried away. Its probably the only store in town like it. Probably only takes dollars. Probably the only store in town where you can film too. Most likely off limits to locals unless they are of a certain rank and above.
@goldenleggsandwood Reminds me of the stories my grandma used to tell me. Powdered baby milk was rarer than than The Nectar Of The Gods in Romania. My grandpa was connected though, so I never lacked for anything. Still, communism sucks. Its aftermath mutilated my country for the next 20 plus years after it fell.
@goldenleggsandwood Mayby the department-store closes the minute the tourists have left. Like Moscow in 1975..only there they did not pretend, the store were empty. This is a Potemkin-showcase.....
@kkteow earht was much less spoiled by the eastern block. The live in eastern block was very good untill the 80ies. But the west had to ruin the eastern block to have control over the whole world. congratulations guys...
@gustavth1 nahh, probably from angola, mozambique cuba etc. this is the 80's still at the height of communism ,they had international exchange programs amongst the communist/socialist states.
That time, NK was a little bit better compared to today's situation in NK. Kim Jong Il let all this change for worse. Less cars on the streets compared to the times under Kim Il Sung. A little bit more freedom under Kim Il Sung. BUT starving, killing and stuff pitily did not change (for better)...
oh no how do these poor people get along with out gang shootings and drug addicts on the street. How do they get by without lady gaga and strip clubs. How do they get by without prostitutes on the corner and drug dealers. omg what to do.
@MILLSTREETMED Don't be stupid, when the flow of money that the USSR poured into North Korea suddenly stopped with the collapse of the USSR two and a half years after this was taken, the vast majority of the country was plunged into abject poverty.
Where is your democratic right to get your voice heard in a democratic society? Where do you have the right to really change anything? Who had anything to say about sending troops anywhere? Who out of 300 million Americans had anything to a say in any of the governments decisions since the beginning of democracy?
The only right you have as a citizen is to vote for a chosen candidate and that's where your rights come to an end. The new Zeitgeist movie will be released soon, new ideas are born
At least they are self sufficient... and all their factories are producing for the people. Communism is a failed system, but so are all the other systems that we have tried throughout history. Just look at western democracy. What does it really mean to be living in a democratic society apart from the fact that you may choose out of a handful of corporate sponsored candidates who promise the world without having the obligation to fulfill any of them.
@MyRazberry Self Sufficient? Who are you kidding? The only reason the entire country hasn't collapsed is China's continued aid to the country. They have NO natural resources! Once China cuts off its aid, which the WikiLeaks diplomatic cables revealed they are going to do (they say they're frustrated with Kim acting like a spoiled child, and consider NK's nuclear program a global risk), they expect the government to collapse in a few years. China says the economy has already collapsed.
@Valicore That's a shame because there's no department store that's as lively, colorful, and inviting as the only one in North Korea and when North Korea gets dissolved: the department store will be gone along with its nifty, state-of-the-art merchandise.
@Valicore hey buddy, I have the leaked cables downloaded do you know the exact reference code to this information? China to cut financial aid to Korea? This would be wonderful news.
@TeamRedz They are all brainwashed for christs sake. Half of them are starving because of perpetual famine and artificial shortages.. Meanwhile the Kims and the generals live like kings.
North Korea is exactly like the twilight zone except it's real and not a fictional tv show. Soon enough NK will just be a bad memory... Sooner than you think. ;)

@goldenleggsandwood Same happened in Romania before 1989 when the Revolution took place. Empty shelves, only one brand of butter, about two brands of soda. Lines forming since 4 in the morning to get our monthly ratio of sugar, milk and coocking oil. About once every 2-3 months you got to buy real meat. I hated that period.

@goldenleggsandwood Dont get carried away. Its probably the only store in town like it. Probably only takes dollars. Probably the only store in town where you can film too. Most likely off limits to locals unless they are of a certain rank and above.

@goldenleggsandwood Reminds me of the stories my grandma used to tell me. Powdered baby milk was rarer than than The Nectar Of The Gods in Romania. My grandpa was connected though, so I never lacked for anything. Still, communism sucks. Its aftermath mutilated my country for the next 20 plus years after it fell.

@goldenleggsandwood Mayby the department-store closes the minute the tourists have left. Like Moscow in 1975..only there they did not pretend, the store were empty. This is a Potemkin-showcase.....

That time, NK was a little bit better compared to today's situation in NK. Kim Jong Il let all this change for worse. Less cars on the streets compared to the times under Kim Il Sung. A little bit more freedom under Kim Il Sung. BUT starving, killing and stuff pitily did not change (for better)...

@MILLSTREETMED Don't be stupid, when the flow of money that the USSR poured into North Korea suddenly stopped with the collapse of the USSR two and a half years after this was taken, the vast majority of the country was plunged into abject poverty.

Where is your democratic right to get your voice heard in a democratic society? Where do you have the right to really change anything? Who had anything to say about sending troops anywhere? Who out of 300 million Americans had anything to a say in any of the governments decisions since the beginning of democracy?
The only right you have as a citizen is to vote for a chosen candidate and that's where your rights come to an end. The new Zeitgeist movie will be released soon, new ideas are born

At least they are self sufficient... and all their factories are producing for the people. Communism is a failed system, but so are all the other systems that we have tried throughout history. Just look at western democracy. What does it really mean to be living in a democratic society apart from the fact that you may choose out of a handful of corporate sponsored candidates who promise the world without having the obligation to fulfill any of them.

For one thing? It means being able to post comments on YouTube videos criticizing the government.

@MyRazberry Self Sufficient? Who are you kidding? The only reason the entire country hasn't collapsed is China's continued aid to the country. They have NO natural resources! Once China cuts off its aid, which the WikiLeaks diplomatic cables revealed they are going to do (they say they're frustrated with Kim acting like a spoiled child, and consider NK's nuclear program a global risk), they expect the government to collapse in a few years. China says the economy has already collapsed.

@Valicore That's a shame because there's no department store that's as lively, colorful, and inviting as the only one in North Korea and when North Korea gets dissolved: the department store will be gone along with its nifty, state-of-the-art merchandise.
