Absolutely love your blog... fascinating. One thing though, when the people get off the train, does it look to anyone else like none of them know where they're going, almost as if they are acting as lordtomasCZ suggests...? Interesting...

A friend of mine had once an opportunity to see another station, than those 2 usually shown to tourists (I have a photo of that station).

If the whole metro was just fake, another stations wouldn't exist.

In general I dond have the impresion, that the metro was just fake.

It's like the ppl are just completely oblivious to your camera lol, must be all the brainwashing

Honestly the station and the subway car look very similar to the ones in NYC. Just differently painted. We've been brainwashed by our media too much. Kim jungil while we think is evil, is keeping the north korea alive in this world economy with pressure from USA and others. It didnt go bankrupt like some others as well.

btw what the men at the right-hand side of the video footage study is not the timetable or map of the underground but rather the newspaper which is put on display (at least it was 10 years ago)

It almost feels like I am looking at a video from the 1950's. Like the way they dress or something.

@mangabuddy No, North Korea is not the worse. We are all the same. It is not the problem if we condemn North Korans, problem is when we think we are better then they. We want fix them, but we are blind and incompetent to help ourselves. Our problem is, that we are complacent.

But, anyway, I see you as pleasant interlocutor.

@jonson11122 No, I didn't. Listing all problems in the western world like self censorship of the press, illegal wars in Afganistan and Iraq, corrupt two party systems that call themselves democracies, spy agencies involved in large scale drug trading etc. etc wouldn't fit into a YouTube comment. The North Koreans are still even worse off than we are, though.

@mangabuddy You forgot to mention the Guantanamo bay, Israel ocupation and milions of starving people in poor countries open to the free market system...

[mangabuddy]

@jonson11122 While I agree that we are too often blind to our own problems in the western world, North Korea is still a bloody awful totalitarian state with huge prison camps and severe human rights violations.

I enjoy your blog... it is very interesting.
