  • I don't get it. Isn't it forbidden to shot things with cam there? Call me dumb sure but that's teh impression.

  • @TheKres7787 No. There are not many photography restrictions in Pyongyang. There are when you get out of Pyongyang but these are not as bad as you think. I have photographed many small towns and the other major cities.

  • I noticed in this and in other videos of the Pyongyang subway, it seems like the train completely empties out before you get on. Is that really what happened or no?

  • @dudestir127 This is a main metro stop so it generally does but in my experience not always.

  • Ah, the great underground train where you can travel two stops with your official follower. In other places you use the metro to do the sightseeing, in Pyongyang the metro is already the sight to be seen...

  • Nice video. North Korea fascinates me and I like seeing details of daily life.

    Not sure if this is right but I read about a visitor who noticed the same groups of people appearing at different points of the station. He was wondering if the whole thing was a show.

    Also, is it me or were the student group leaders nudging the rest of the kids away from the crowd? I swear a few of them were staring or even going towards you before changing direction all of a sudden.

  • I hear everything a tourist sees in North Korea is set up, the whole visit is like a huge theater play that you're a part of. It makes me sad to see how a lot of those people looked away immediately as they saw you, it's apparently illegal to look at a foreigner.

    North Korea is so fascinating (even though the human right violations are sadly suvere), I hope I get to travel there before the whole system breaks down.

  • @zaruka ok cool

  • @TheKres7787 That is why I go. It is more to study North Korea.

  • dangerous?

  • I feel so sorry for the common people of North Korea...

  • @zaruka Interesting, I just never really saw it as a dream holiday destination

  • @zaruka aha it's allowed to record metros. But why do you go there really? Aren't you worried? Is it holiday trips? I'll admit it's one heck of an exciting trip to make. :)

  • @TheKres7787 No there are plenty of videos of the metro.
