Drive through central Pyongyang at rush hour on National Day Holiday

Video taken from tour bus as we drove through central Pyongyang at rush hour on National Day Holiday, September 9, 2010. There was much more activity on the streets, as well as more vehicles than what we normally saw on the other days of our tour.
Pyongyang is the "showpiece" city for the DPRK government, and the main place that most foreign visitors to the country usually see. As such it is a very privileged place to live for North Koreans and residency there is restricted.

Used a small video cam--it is allowed to video in certain areas and certain things. In Pyongyang, videoing was allowed.

@skeezysquirrel Cleveland, Ohio would be a paradise of culture, nightlife, and vibrancy compared to Pyongyang

Why do they always walk to the left in North Korea? Because they have no rights.

@pabnaful OMG ! TELL JAMES THAT I SAY HI, HAVENT SEEN EACH OTHER FOR SOO LONG, IM GLAD HE IS DOING GOOD, HAD NO IDEA U GUYS KNEW EACH OTHER, WHAT A SMALL WORLD! QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY THIEVES, SERIAL KILLERS, WARMONGERS AND PSYCHOS IN INDIA? I CAN NAME A FEW IF YOU DONT KNOW THEM, BTW IS CARLIN, NOT CARLINE.

[pabnaful]

@twistedbb I don't think it's cool to be white. whites are the thieves, oppressors, murderers, liars, serial killers, warmongers and psychos. that's why James Cameron in his movie avatar changed the race of the lead character from white to a native. George carline made similar remarks about the brutality of white race.

@pabnaful WHOEVER POSESS THE TRUTH IS NEVER INSECURE, AND GUESS WHAT? I'M NOT FEELING INSECURE AT ALL ! ABOUT THE WHITE THING I REALLY DONT CARE I AM NOT WHITE THATS UR PROBLEM BETWEEN YOUR INFERIORITY COMPLEX AND WHITES, HAVE U NOTICED THAT UR ANSWERS ARE NEVER AN ANSWER TO MINE? ONLY A HATEFUL COMMENT ABOUT WHITE RACE? I FEEL SORRY 4 U, FOR MOVING TO A COUNTRY FULL OF WHITES AND HATE THAT RACE. BLEACH YOURSELF LIKE MJ, MAYBE THAT WAY YOU'LL GET OVER IT.(DEEP INSIDE I KNOW THATS WHAT U WANT) !

@twistedbb you wouldn't have replied to me over and over if it was out of context. the reason you reply to me over and over is because you feel insecure about the fact that I am telling the truth. being deceitful is the main weakness among white westerners. oppressors are always weak minded deep inside. people who promote the wars most never fight in a war.
