    In the beginning when they were doing kick flips and such on their skateboards was kinda messed up. That is how you ruin it for the rest of the people that use boards strictly as a way to travel around the airport.

    • @jarlhenrik
      @jarlhenrik 8 лет назад +20

      I'm generally not a fan of people using skateboards/kick-bikes or any wheeled contraption inside public areas. Malls, stations and such. If it has wheels and you're not handicapped, it belongs outside, the way I see it.

    • @slowburntm3584
      @slowburntm3584 8 лет назад +6

      Jarl Lillebø That is my point, but if someone is just using a simple penny board in an open area, you really can't complain much. But when there are people doing tricks in crowds, it is only a matter of time before someone gets hurt and sues, then all the rules get inforced heavily...

    • @HeyItsKatieRose

      Nope, actually the people in Pyongyang are probably going what they normally do on a daily basis. Remember that Pyongyang is the capital and showcase city for the privleged only. But also remember that the tiny country is forced to be almost entirely self-sufficient due to blockages on foreign trade. For that they are doing remarkably well.

    • @UnitedKingdomGovernment

      @@infinitasalo472 The fall of the eastern bloc only stopped Russia trading with them. They get almost all of their supplies from China from 1991, they are no where near self-sufficient. That's why there is JBL speakers, and why they all have coke bottles they remove labels from, and why they're all using Chinese phones. Not to mention the HUGE lack of electricity in NK, most of the little electricity they have they don't make themselves. I think they recently got self-sufficient in some basic foods like potatoes, but they still import things like meat and protean.

    I will say that this series is interesting because as a westerner, we really don't get to properly see what north korea looks like. They always paint it in the horrible concentration camp picture without any bright sides. I understand this isn't the whole story of the country but I like to think there is at least some nice part to north korea.

      You don't know enough about North Korea. North Korea's government sponsors the tour and the guides MUST show the tourists the best parts of Pyongyang. Of course, the North Korean government isn't going to show them the concentration camps, starving people and horrible conditions in the country. The money from tourism actually gives the North Korean government money to continue the oppression of their people. However, we have to remember that it's the North Korean GOVERNMENT that is bad....NOT the North Korean PEOPLE.

      as long as you folow what they say youre good but apperently you have to ask your tour guide before you video or take a photo you cant wander off on your own and they basically escort you the whole way and you cant take pictures of the army or any workers. As he said they check all youre stuff and its pretty limited the ony thing i can see happen is if he went to jail but its not like there gonna execute him or anything A man that went there served 15 years in prison for taking a poster in a hotel

    Of course it seemed better and more modern than you imagined because that's what they wished to protray. Why do you think they provided a guided tour? Why do you think they pointed out how newly built the airport was and the road you were talking about? Surely you're not this absent minded, Louis. :P As others have said, they're putting on a show. I find it fascinating to watch; can't wait to watch the rest.

      You think they're putting on a show just for him and other tourists? Please. Of course they are going to point out the newly built airport. It's new. What tour company wouldn't point out something like that? If you were in Pyongyang two years ago you would have used the much older airport.
      And yes, I wonder how many tours to the U.S. include a trip to the homeless areas like Skid Row in DTLA or South Central, or to private prisons, mental institutions, etc.? It's all Beverly Hills, Hollywood Walk of Fame, etc. -- DPR Korea is no different.
      And yet people keep rehashing the same line, "Oh, it's all a show" -- I guess if you say it enough, other people will eventually parrot it and it becomes fact.

    • @TheJauntyJester
      @TheJauntyJester 8 лет назад +8

      G.S. Kim lol You've never seen any of the documentaries where they sneak off from the guided tours, have you? Or videos about when they visit restaurants expected? What about the nightly power outages? Or even the stories from citizens who've escaped? This isn't some conspiracy theory. This is real life in a communist country which a dictator is attempting to hide.

    • @TheJauntyJester
      @TheJauntyJester 8 лет назад

      +keandric 2 Absent minded is defined as oblivious. Perhaps you prefer naive, but both work in this instance.

    • @keandric2765
      @keandric2765 8 лет назад +1

      TheJauntyJester Actually, it's defined as this: '(of a person or a person's behavior or manner) having or showing a habitually forgetful or inattentive disposition.'
      Oblivious *is* one of the synonyms, but that's used more in a daydreaming way. I don't know what country you're from, but in American English, the phrase "absent minded" is Never used in a similar manner as naive. Not intending to start an argument or anything about this, just don't want non-English speakers (who use videos and tv and such as a way to perfect their English) to get the wrong idea. English is already confusing enough for ESL peeps,I'm sure.. lol ^_^

    Thank goodness Kevin McAllister (from Home Alone) didn’t accidentally take a flight to North Korea!

    The people may seem nice and they may be but North Korea is still a country that is heavily controlled by the government, they don't want people from other countries to get a bad impression so they may be forced to put on a smile i' just saying this because people may think differently of North Korea but don't be fooled by acting.

      +Rachel I am a pending member of the KFA I have you know i have much knowledge about the DPRK and its parties left and right i get news and articles straight from trustworthy sorces not CNN and NKnews and especially not Arirang news i get my studying materials from various KFA sources and i have a 90 score point in knowledge of the DPRK's teachings in Juche and Songgun so continuing with you're meaningless parade of know how would be completely disregarded as nonsense knowing I'm far superior to the likings of your low intellect and biased thoughts on the DPRK's systems of law and order prisons are everywhere unless you're type of freedom requires even the criminals to run FREE im sorry but I have to decline you're argument of slandering meaningless shouts of anti DPRK propaganda

      Actually seen as these people know nothing about the outside world, its pretty obvious most of them are genuinly happy.
      People in the USA fake smiles more often than anywhere else in the world tbh.

    Watching these back I kind of feel like Louis is putting in clips, kind hinting over that things aren't rainbows and peaches like at 8:38 with that bus, and at the beginning with the guy mentions they are going to have to stop saying certain things hrmmmmm Or maybe I'm reading too much into things haha
