Beyond naive to truly believe he was allowed to show/see just anything he wanted lol. Everyone must be smarter then simply presenting progaganda with no mention, or understanding, of actual reality.

      Kim Jong-un is fat while his people starve. That’s all I need to know. He is a monster and there is no life in Korea. North Korea is only survival. Any country that does not allow its citizens to leave is nothing more than a prison state. I’ve heard recent accounts of families committing suicide because life is so disgustingly awful and if one person were to commit suicide, their family would be punished anyway so now entire families are just taking themselves out. I’m so grateful that I was not born there.

    My theory about the unmanned grocery stores is that North Korea, for a very long time, has wanted the outside world to think they're a rich country full of food and luxuries while in reality they dont really have anything. Due to this fact, they fill the tourist parts of North Korea with markets full of food with nobody actually working in them to give off the illusion that they have nice things.

    For the curious, the market isnt an actual market. You'll notice there's dust on the bottles and the reason that the shop was locked is because it always is.

      Sabina Wurmbrand said something slightly similar happened in Communist Romania, but really almost worse: she said that shortages were really bad, but when the country opened up for tourists, suddenly the stores were stocked with goods that they hadn't seen in years.

    Someone in my circle went to N. Korea with the UN.
    They visited a hospital when a colleague broke his arm. The technician at the hospital used an x-ray machine donated by the US but the machine had no power and the technician pretended to operate the machine and read scans from a blank screen.
    Another time he assisted someone involved in a cycle accident. Later the police visited their hotel and interrogated them about it. The police demanded to know why he would assist a complete stranger and surely he must have known the person but how if they had never officially met before? Was the injured person a foreign agent? They just could not accept that he would stop to assist an injured stranger...he had to explain that in his country it was a legal requirement to assist someone at the scene of an accident.
    Unsure how to handle the situation, they awarded him some kind of civil medal...I kid you not.
    We don't know what happened to the injured cyclist, they might have ended up in a prison-camp.

      @Hi, I'm Barbara Just a bit of correct info from someone who's from Russia: you prolly won't get arrested for complaining about your country. Criticizing the Russian Government is pretty much a national hobby. You shouldn't do it as a foreigner, but that's just a common sense thing, Americans wouldn't like tourists shitting on US either. You might get arrested if you are actually agitating people. Like if you'd start a protest against the government or something. Serious anti-regime propaganda will for sure get you in trouble, but the police could care less about what people are casually talking about. Simply said, making a dumb joke about Putin won't get you arrested, even if it's on the internet and has millions of views. Oh, you should actually check out all the memes we make about Putin, they are quite funny :)

      That's not true. They're well aware. Those defectors saying that their countrymen are smiling a lot more are honest and not talking about manipulated propaganda material. Bottomline is: Just because you have freedom it doesn't mean you're happier. In South Korea apparently the people seem colder, smile less. Which is very understandable if you think about how in 1st world countries we're constantly under stress, and often lost sight of what really makes us happy

Since I'm Korean, I haven't even been to North Korea myself, and I'm only learning about North Korea through these videos and school lessons. North Korea and South Korea are very close but far away. So your video about North Korea is so amazing and new. Thank you so much for shooting this video about North Korea. It's definitely the same ethnicity, they speak the same language, and have the same culture, but I can't meet them, I can't talk to them, and I think it's so sad that so much is gradually changing. I hope this problem can be solved soon before there are any more changes... Even if it doesn't work out, I definitely want to go to North Korea someday. 😊

    Honestly kind of brave to go back to the hotel room alone. I would want to be with other people 100% of the time, just in case they try and frame you for a crime. Not sure is Otto really did commit a crime or not, but on the chance he didn't (because in the cctv footage you can't tell if it's really him or not) it would be hard to frame you if you are with people always.

      The bank of international settlements is the central bank of central banks. Located in switzerland which was founded by the knights templar. along with cern, fifa, templars priory of sion, etc also being there. the list just keeps going. The bible said the beast would have 7 heads and 10 horns. The swiss government has 7 heads and 10 districts. Kim Jung un and ghadaffi both went to school in Switzerland and speak swiss german. Not many know this. Their banks have been caught parasiting billions through fraud and working with criminals to have money offshores. Thats just one time. Imagine the trillions they have taken from the american people working hard everyday. Thats why Americans are all circumcised. We are the pharoahs slaves. In Egypt it was slaves who got circumcised.. Obelisks, hieroglyphs, pharoah murals, masonry symbols, etc all over switzerland. Every single President ever is linked to swiss royalty and this includes trump, obama, and hillary. Every government ever has swiss people running it. Every army ever has swiss generals. There is literally terms and quotes from swiss people how they bring Switzerland with them and dont integrate. Huge chunk of swiss are spread all over the world this is known as "swiss diaspora creating 5th Switzerland" aka 5th column sleepr agents all over. They take the police, military, and political roles then grab us by the balls. If you look at the swiss belt where all the swiss went in the united states tons of cities named zurich, berne, etc all identical to Switzerland. They are the top of the pyramid. Who would suspect "clean neutral Switzerland"

    • @g.h7657

      "Neutral" Switzerland established in 1291, home of the Knights Templar Egyptian pharaonic bloodline and their stolen cache of Jerusalem gold, bankrolled artist and forceful charismatic German orator and propagandist Adolph Hitler, to undertake the biggest heist of financial, physical and human capital ever seen, 1939-1945. The Bank for International Settlements was established in the early 1920s with a stated purpose of facilitating German WW1 reparations. Nothing was further from the truth. The Swiss Pharaohs using the BIS started to raid European countries for their wealth. In the late 1930s an enormous storehouse of oil was found in Saudi Arabia. The House of Windsor (UK monarchy, formerly 'Mountbatten', formerly 'Battenberg' Germans) quickly embraced Saudi Arabia as its vassal and the Swiss pharaohs of "neutral" Switzerland set up a shipping fleet (purportedly "aid" ships) that transported Saudi Arabian oil to Germany. A war would soon begin. The finance and the energy source had been found to protract a war between Pharaohs, by and on behalf of Pharaohs, for a half decade. The Swiss Pharaohs of the European and British elite families would begin their extermination of the common people, their slaves. Thus began World War II.
