      ​@@hivemind010 well all food stores in cold places have heating (perhaps with the exception of in North Korea), because customers don't want to be walking around at -20 degrees to do their groceries.

    The female employees are all nice and even welcomed the foreigners. I didn't expect she would asked you "do you speak korean" or something like that, then you said "jogeum jogeum" (a little) hahaha. It's nice and interesting to see on how north koreans socialize on daily life. Once again thanks for the video! (btw jaka parker orang indonesia bgt lah, mikir-mikir kalo belanja ga asal beli tapi yg perlu2 aja, meskipun sebenernya dompet masih keliatan penuh wkwk)

    Chill dudes, to everyone having concern about this guy's hired to advertise how cool NK is, that's normal that the country treats foreigners as privileged because they want to show the outside world they're normal and as abundant as any outside countries, so it's not like he was paid or hired by the NK govrt to show only the good side of NK but he's only allowed to be privileged and live under a good condition. Pyongyang
    is the best city that only North Koreans with high songbun and foreigners are allowed to live in there, it's like the holy city of the country therefore it's impossible for you guys to see any poor people or whatever terrible you're expecting from these videos, sorry for my terrible english guys.

    I have watched a few of these videos that Jaka Parker has put out, why does everyone wear coats inside, is there no heat in the buildings?

    • @born2biscuit
      @born2biscuit 7 лет назад +4

      In this video you can see small AC units on the walls and you can hear them whirring away. They look like small units meant for smaller areas but there are 3 of them that I saw. I don't know how well these would work but I noticed there was a blanket covering the entrance which suggests that the heat is easily sucked out of the store from people opening the door. Also North Korea is known to have power outages often so there would be times where these AC units wouldn't work and there would be no heating at all like you said. But of course there are alternative means for heating that don't require electricity such as kerosene, but I really don't know that much detail about North Korea. When it comes to people wearing coats on the inside I think that would be normal for regular shoppers but for the employees I'm guessing they feel cold inside of the stores because the small AC units aren't effective or their jobs require them to go outside or be in cold areas of the store such as freezers considering it is a food store.

    • @BRBTechTalk

      2. Again, that might just be for show and could be inoperable. OR OR OR….. could be for someone that, again, is part of the elite.

    This place is interesting how its shielded from view outside. Clearly he has access to products and stores that the residents don't for whatever reason. He indicates that foreigners and diplomats can get to many things others can't. On the flip side though, the people walking the streets and working don't look to be deprived. Hard to say from videos but...they are living no problem. Less police in the streets than you see in america and very low crime so...hard to say it's so bad really. Just weird versus our way of life. If you were born into that though, you probably wouldn't think it was bad at all.

      That might be true but he paid his bill in a combination of USD ($4), Euro (€1), and Choson Won (₩4000). He didn't have enough USD so he gave them $4 USD, then tried to pay the rest in Euros (€1.45) but only had a €1 coin, so he gave them the €.45 balance in North Korean Choson Won (the ₩4000 he gave them), so they obviously have access to local Won.
