      They probably have to return the swimsuits after filming. I watched a documentary of someone who visited, the locals performed a dance for the visitors with coats on and once it was over they had to return the coats.

      It seems like their factories make very limited styles of clothing. I watched another documentary, and noticed almost immediately that several women were wearing the same exact 1960s style sheath dress, and only in 3 colors. There were teenage boys wearing puffer coats, but they were identical and seemed to only come in 3 colors, as well!
      Also, the authorities making this film seem to have color coded everyone too? Pink for little girls and blue for little boys, and seemingly nothing else.
      This feels surreal, and is strange and sad...

    Out of context, it looks like a pretty cool waterpark, albeit designed by someone who doesn't quite understand how one functions. It has some real liminal space vibes. But then I noticed there are only about four different bathing suits, everyone is wearing one of two different swim caps, and the dystopia set in. If Huxley had a waterpark in Brave New World, this would be it.

      They are probably the elite party families. Who dont really lack for anything. Like the ones at the "model school kindergarten" in Pyongyang that Russian and Chinese tourists get to see, where they dress up and perform theater in elaborate costumes, do experiential learning about trees and animals in a national history museum type gallery, etc. Then most kids are in the countryside eating onions or seaweed their parents dig up.
      But honestly as long as not harmed or starving, kids are fine as long as they feel parents care for them and get along with peers/have friendship. A 5yo don't know any better and can be happy with basic needs and good relationships. It's knowing that it only gets worse that's heartbreaking, it's the older kids and adults I feel sorry for.

      OF COURSE amusement areas and fast food from Western culture and even cuisine from Asian countries are foreign to them!
      It's also dehumanizing to treat them that they don't have brains just because they have never experienced most of the current pop culture and current events we have the privilege to use and see.

And with all the money they wasted trying to act like their people enjoy their lives they probably could have used that money towards actually making things for the people. Like a real water park or amusement park or something. I don’t understand how a leader such as the Kim’s can totally see how shitty their own leadership is and how many people suffer and die and go “yeah this is fine” like from a moral standpoint I just can’t comprehend it.

And that place has been open since the early 1980s; I wonder how long it took them to source the stuff for this place. Somehow everything looks so dated, like it's glazed almost--old attractions kept propped up long past their normal life span.
    Sadder still, I cannot help but sincerely wonder who this is for. I am grateful for the English narration, but if this is supposed to be a tourism video for, say, rich Chinese tourists, then WHY is it in English? There is no way most North Korean people will ever get to set foot in that place, is there? :(

      Considering that most of the information about North Korea comes from South Korea and the bloc that first staged a bombing raid equal to the largest in World War II, it is not surprising that you will not even have the knowledge that nothing good can happen in North Korea. Do you know about those who returned to it after fleeing? Do you know about the laws? Have you seen the inhabitants of North Korea yourself? No. Usually, all you know is a runaway fugitive who cries about the fact that her parents were executed in the camp, who, when checked, left with her family, but makes money from tearful books and interviews. Do you know how many channels from Koreans were blocked on TH-cam and other platforms*? channels that had videos and photographs of work in the garden, at home, etc. - ordinary everyday ones?

    Crazy to think about but my grandmother once in her lifetime had a vacation in North Korea when USSR was still present. She said she and other Soviet tourists weren't allowed to go anywhere without a guide or a soldier, they weren't allowed to film or record anything. The food was pretty decent. The elevator in hotel she stayed at never worked. She asked a Korean worker, who knew Russian well, why elevator was never working. He answered: "We are lacking in electricity, so we turn on the elevator when a check team arrives, and turn it off when a check team leaves".
    This whole sentence about a single elevator said me everything about North Korea. They put on a facade about "ideal communist country" while they lack in literally everything and their people don't trust anyone cause they're always afraid of being punished.

      OF COURSE amusement areas and fast food from Western culture and even cuisine from Asian countries are foreign to them!
      It's also dehumanizing to treat them that they don't have brains just because they have never experienced most of the current pop culture and current events we have the privilege to use and see.

    2:11 Ah yes, an indoor wading pool. For people!
    I remember the last time I went to a waterpark they did indeed have a wading pool but access was strictly limited to heads of fresh cauliflower and old shoelaces. I'll tell you what, I never made that mistake again! Now I only visit waterparks with wading pools for people!
    Thanks, North Korea!

    Fun fact: the waterpark bearing the name "Alpamare" is actually named after the Alpamare in Pfäffikon, canton of Schwyz, the biggest waterpark in Switzerland (source: Daily NK). Although Kim Jong-un attended school in Bern, it is entirely possible that he visited the Alpamare as part of a school trip from where he took the name home.

And the one near me had an attached amusement park and was a lot bigger. I’m sure Disney and Universal get international ads, but they’re much bigger deals. Also, another water park opened up near me and I didn’t even know it existed until it killed a kid. *That* got a lot of attention.

    Google images show the park desolate and devoid of water, but that could be because the images were taken during cold-weather-season. Right beside it is the Pyongyang university of performing arts, filled with dump trucks and nothing else (no cars, bicycles, mopeds, etc.)
    On the other side of the park is an orphanage and a nursing home. Eerie! And the streets seem mostly empty as well… very active and sophisticated culture…
