    ================================================
    Please watch this video until the end.
    Ok, so this is my 47th video that I uploaded, many people asked me..
    "How could you upload youtube video in NK?".
    "He uploads the video after he back to Indonesia, because he didn't dare if he upload directly from NK".
    Nope..that is not entirely True..
    The answer is..
    I already back to Indonesia, and currently I live in Indonesia..
    My first 23 videos was uploaded when I was in North Korea.
    The most different thing that when I uploaded video in NK, for a 15 minute video needed two days to upload, because the internet there was unstable due to electricity on off several times in a day..I can’t subscribe for cellular internet mobile because its way too expensive and..not reliable too...
    but..when in Indonesia, I can choose which provider for internet and to upload a 15 minute video need only few minutes...
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    OK..
    back to this video..
    I was going to a store which was located inside the Diplomatic Compound in Munsu District, behind Vietnam Embassy (you can check it out in Google Maps)
    Sure..because these videos is about my daily life in NK...so I only posted about my routines things that I am doing in NK).
    This store named Pyongyang Shop, which only several people who can access inside, only Foreigners and local Korean people who can get permission to be inside Diplomatic Compound (usually Korean people who works for foreign Organisations and embassies).
    Btw.. sorry for bad English and Korean..
    Any viewers who understand Korean language might be laughing hearing me trying to make conversations with the locals..please pardon me.

    I think that a big part of viewers can't understand what's special about this store, because you’ve been going to exactly the same stores near your home every day for decades. This kind of shops ONLY for foreigns/diplomats/locals with currency (US dollars/euro/CNY). Get some dollars for locals is difficult, it's real only on the black market. The assortment in state shops for locals looks completely different, much worse. In USSR we had the same kind of shops, it called "Beryozka", you can read in wiki about this.
    Nowadays in DPRK you can have a private little grocery store, but again it's difficult, need to get a food in bulk quantities (that I don't understand how, may be corrupt way through China, I don't hear about NKs in Russia), arrange with some government organization to register the premises with it and sometimes to pay a bribes.

      Not smuggled. China just got it from all European countries and export them further to North Korea, i think Russia does the same. Also Russia got sanctions now they get everything of Kazakhstan now, it’s not smuggled and not a secret, it is completely legal for them to do so.
      But some Chinese people or North Korean people who work on the chinese border smuggle videos/movies/music from South Korea or from the West, if you get caught you can get publicly executed. And public HAS to watch it (from the age of 12 I think), sadly…

    For those who are wondering why the computer/register didn't turn off when the electricity went out, since power outages or brownouts are common in these countries, desktops and monitors are always connected to a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply), which is like a backup battery. When I lived in Burma with frequent power outages, I bought one specifically to power my 4G router for internet and another one to power my fan. (Don't ever run a fan with a UPS. You'll burn out the fan's motor and wear out the UPS quickly. At least I wasn't hot during those long outages.)

      All dumb Middle Eastern-African not complete multilracial not multilingual never been living around the world all alone since childhood
      Don't be surprised Jews/Christians/Muslims are pathetically idiots.
      Anything built on criminality will not last.
      Born a complete multiracial multilingual Indonesian living around the world all alone since childhood, I shared this on my social media:
      "Indonesia was not, is not and will never be Islamic country, majority of the muslims are just blind followers the same stupid as your forefathers never studied intensively those stupid stone age medieval hocus pocus Judaism/Christianity/Islam of very poor Middle East since very young age, you don't even speak the language fluently not even understanding it, not a complete multiracial not multilingual never been living around the world all alone since childhood but the same never evolved dumb apes stuck inside your tiny boxes your entire life.
      Western, Middle East, North Africa = Filthy world including faking world map since Mercator projection 1569.
      Real Indonesia is Huge as Russia and even much richer, Coffee is native to Indonesia not brought by Dutch liars including lies in history of Indonesia even at formal school!
      Our oil and gas only are much more than whole Middle East."
      Stop calling real rich natural resources as third world.
      Real 3rd world is that your natural resources are so poor and colonizing others for centuries long sabotaging the history, stealing, killing, attacking, etc.
      Real Rich will never do way Middle East, Europe, USA, etc has been doing.
      Because West and The Middle East, North Africa are the real third world.
      So sorry Egypt isn't the oldest, even Egypt is very poor, very dry, far off the center of the Equator line.
      Most highest humidity on Earth: Indonesia, meaning many much older artifacts has decayed much faster than just few thousands years Egypt.
      And Judaism/Christianity/Islam are just the same dumb.
      Even most of people know nothing about much older ancient modern civilization here in Indonesia before mega eruption of Toba supervolcano of Sumatra 75,000 years ago.
      Including 25,000 years old Gunung Padang pyramid in Indonesia.

    This isn't propaganda. His wife works for an Indonesian Embasy in NK, hence why he has access to this. He has diplomatic protection, meaning he's basically on the level of elites in NK. The guy isn't saying this is their everyday life, you can see in his videos description he says that very few people have access to stuff like this. So before making assumptions next time, just read the description.

      I don't know, I'm not an American... It seems though that US citizens are not restricted in regards to where they can move in their own country, where to go shopping etc...
