Glorious North Korean car, shielding itself from the filthy eyes of evil Western imperialists! License plates can blur out half of the screen! Long live the glory of President Kim il-Sung, General Kim Jong-il and Marshall Kim Jong-un for looking over the North Korean people from the beautiful city of Pyongyang, whose glory shines over the world and gives the middle-finger to the rotten capitalist pigs! Long live the glory of Mt.Baektu, where President Kim il-Sung assumed his human form right before beating the shit of imperialist aliens and sinking the Titanic with his 00Bя 4W5UM telekinesis!
Miy Jholl someone's been drinking too much of the propoganda coolaid. Your assumptions of westerners are just as false as probably some of what we hear about NK.
Because of the amount of people that are shot by cops in the US on a regular basis. The number of people who are in prison in the US because of minor charges. The millions of people in the US that live on food stamps. The shops full of goods that people cannot afford. 80 per cent of US citizens live below the poverty line and all you can say is that the shops in the DPRK look "creepy". A meaningless term that cannot just be used as if that it is a valid opinion without being challenged. Nothing personal my friend but you show all the signs of being brainwashed. Thousands of tourists visit the DPRK every year and they have a very enjoyable time, the cities and towns are clean and tidy, no graffiti or advertising hoardings to scar the landscape.
+Alexander Dahmen2 Inside the tunnel there is no lighting at all. One of my best experience is when I drove my car at night in the winter and through that tunnel. I still remember that moment.
Interesting that I never saw any animal in North Korea or North Korea - I sometimes saw cattle, cows and nothing else. Do you have any more accurate information about my observations?
North Korea in my opinion is a beautiful country Such a shame that only a few eyes can see the beautiful dprk's countryside (just ignore all the starving people tho......)
We can't say that is a beautiful country as we can't say its the worst . But Its already a bad point about the liberty (no internet,don't have right to go outside, no free speech) that's a beautiful country about the landscape yes. but you have to admit its not one of the best country for live .
+Brian NZ no, they're both terrible. Comparing it to the US is irrelevant. Crime in US cities does not suddenly make the DPRK a great place to live. Both are shithouse for the average person.
I love the part where it slows down, to prove that somebody else is there XD. In all seriousness, what a beautiful location. NK could be a fantastic opportunity for tourism. I would love to just ride around in remote locations, playing tunes like these....
Apparently, this was a vacation trip for embassy workers of other countries in North Korea. At 2:56 there are other cars coming. This guy Jaka was probably the first one of them on the road filming. No way those cars belong to ordinary Koreans.
Pak Jaka, I just realized there are a lot of products from Vietnam at 04:49 Aji-ngon, fruit juice and the sodas. Are there a lot of Vietnamese living in that area? Or in Pyongyang? I always learn new things from your videos. Terima kasih banyak.
This like a zombie movie. Wide roads and a nice store with lots of inventory but no people. The inventory is canned so it can survive a turnover of years. A truck is parked but not near the store as if a great number of customers might suddenly come. Other vehicles are around but they do not function. If this is a military road why the signs with destinations? This is Parker'S attempt at a horror movie after man has eliminated most of the 21st Century. Just like a Mad Max movie or Night of the Living Dead.
Thank you for the efforts in creating & uploading this is really interesting I like nature and cant help but think NK might have some unspoiled places hopefully some day its easier for us to visit please post any more videos like this outside of the city you might have.
I would love to go shopping at this Rest Stop store it's a very beautiful store thank you for sharing this thank you for bringing us on your Adventures thank you for bringing us on your journey for those people that celebrate Christmas in December I want to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
JUST LIKE IN THE CITY, NO CARS, NO PEOPLE , and how many people live in North Korea ? 1500 ? MINI Store, they always look like they haven't had a Customer in 30 Years
Beautiful scenery, but spooky. No traffic, apart from the 4 cars that suddenly turn up as he stops at the shop - they must be secret service cars following him throughout his journey. Note that the road has no central dividing line, no road signs, apart from directions to the rest area, and no road markings at the junction.
what do you expect from a government run shit hole? Like any other government run body they have no real planning, just put a store in a vacant area for no reason. Profits? Who cares about profits, as long as people get employed. This is what happens when you let the state run your lives.
dont think there is hea in here th waitress has on a jackt coat but ,one of da doors r opep and they hav van outside and there is a few vehicles outside . otherwise love countryside some roads look a little better here in nk than l.a. here. they must hav bettr funding than this f kd up state city. huh.
Tyrel Goldberg Oh shut up. This is just an extreme end. At least in Europe we do not die of a pneumonia because being unable to pay a private insurance plan. And we've got shopping malls and stuff. You guys put profit before people and they put people before profit while they have to be at the same level.
It does, my dad side of the family lives in St. Regis Montana. Very little town, literally one stop light in the middle of the town. I would love to climb the mountains in NK!
As the one, who happened to live in late USSR, I can't really say that it was smth. horrible. Of course it was better than in NK, people didn't starve, but yes, the majority couldn't afford all the stuff, you easily get today. The choice was very limited, hypocritical government and certain people still had access to closed store departments (like in NK now). However, while working, people use to get property free of charge and what most important everyone lived more or less the same life, jealousy did not exist in general, doors were opened, everyone was welcomed and most were happy with what they had. No hatred, no one was "busy", people use to go to post office just to make a phone call to their relatives to say hi. On NY eve, the whole house block used to come out of their flats, cheering everyone with champagne - absolutely opened atmosphere you can hardly find today, (maybe in small villages). No credit cards, no mortgages, and what might sound strange most (not all of course) didn't need a car, or a bigger flat, it's like no one cared about stuff... Yes, it was simple, stores had similar stuff, yes it is sucks that you can't just go and buy new sneakers. But I am definitely not happy with civilized (as they think) society nowadays living in shopping malls, ready to queue 48 hours to get a new thing, they do not even need. It's all about balance...
Daniel Wills As Putin said: "If you dont mis USSR you have no hart, if you want it back you have no brain". Many people miss that lifestile and every westerner thinks they are comunist fanatics. XD
Well, he's right about the life in USSR. I was born there too. Obviously nowadays, nobody in their sane mind would want to go back to USSR. But it wasn't that bad back then. DPRK is like hell on earth in comparison.
Jaka, your video's are mindblowing exclusive. It looks like you have some kind of unrestricted acces to that country. This is better than any documentary I have seen about DPRK. I am dying to know how you pulled it off to move around without a minder or any official. How did you get into that position? I speak out of extreme jalousy :-)
If tourists are not allowed to go where they want on their own, without a guide, and neither buy or rent vehicles for their own use, how did you achieve this? All the videos I watched, tourists and photographers are watched all the time! Greatings from Brazil!
He had to get permission from the government to leave the capital. He says this in a different video description. He even said he had minders with him.
@CommunistBotI have no idea what island nation you speak of, but all over the Caribbean tourism is THE reason my people can even survive. Tourists fill our restaurants and shops and make our economy live. Without tourists we’d have no economy and be like North Korea or Cuba (island similar to North Korea in government) where there’s no food and very much suffering.
SentientNewspaper maybe you should get out and about more and you'll learn that the United States is one of the best places in the world to live or just keep watching mainstream media
anyone else notice the packages of raw meat sitting unrefrigerated on a shelf? looked like ground beef.... id also like to add that it seems like that shop was slapped together in an afternoon, on top of the fact that its pretty obvious no one buys anything from this supposed rest stop, all lined up perfectly and not a single item missing from the shelves, totally not suspicious at all.
additionlly, when people ask you why you never show anything outside of pyongyang, they arent talking about desolate mountain sides, they are talking about villages, places with people, the living conditions of the average citizen, not a bunch of desolate road ways with slow motion views of the 4 cars in the totality of north korea outside of pyongyang. this is obviously rigged, and the real irony of it is, people are so brain washed into thinking they are brain washed that they are saying people are brain washed while being brainwashed lol p.s. humans are retarded, please prove me wrong
0:35 those 3 concrete pillars are defensive -- they are blown at the base and topple over to block any military advancement. They are all over major roads that lead to Pyongyang
Objections for traffic are stupid. If you compared this to the Balkans there would be no major difference. In fact, in almost every countrys rural areas there is no traffic. Just because its in North Korea doesnt mean its special. When I travel with my parrents to the rural areas that are 50 kms away from our town there is even less traffic than in DPRK and I live in a west-influenced capitalist country
Thank you for showing us glimpses into the real DPRK. Sure, it's not the full picture, but it's better than others who content with showing just the polished surface of Pyongyang.
Man I can totally imagine Top Gear going on road trip through North Korea. I'd definitely watch an episode about that. I mean, they've been through war zones of Iraq, the Chernobyl site, the North Pole, the Amazon rain forest, Africa, getting chased by the police in Albania, like they literally go anywhere. Thought I doubt they'd go to North Korea because of the restrictions and stuff.
3:55 You can tell this store only exists to give the appearance of normalcy. The bottles of soda all evenly spaced, not a single one missing. No supermarket on earth has fully stocked, perfectly faced shelves. No one stocks bottles with an inch of space between them. It's smaller than most convenience stores and yet 100% of the stock on the shelves could fit into 1/3 of the space.
The roads are actually better than in Norway with similar topografi. While the surface is worse, the road is much wider than any major highway in Norway would be on the country site. Also the curvature is much gentler.
It is a post from Japan. "POKKA" is a trademark of Japanese companies, I was surprised that it is sold in North Korea. Thank you very much for your interesting videos ☆
bqq123 But they are not imported directly from Japan though. Instead they are imported from Singapore, which currently is a strong economic partner of North Korea. The foreign imported groceries are mostly imported from Singapore, after Indonesia, China and Russia.
so somebody uploaded a car cam video from North Korea. And my thoughts are not at all about the regime, but rather that it must be one of least air polluted places on Earth with this lamost non-existing traffic. I feel intrigued, if given a chance, I think I'd like to go there just to find out if I would be able to wtness some great air quality.
This is rare to see, thank you for another insightful video.... Peace

Objections for traffic are stupid. If you compared this to the Balkans there would be no major difference. In fact, in almost every countrys rural areas there is no traffic. Just because its in North Korea doesnt mean its special. When I travel with my parrents to the rural areas that are 50 kms away from our town there is even less traffic than in DPRK and I live in a west-influenced capitalist country
L'autoroute de corée du nord est parfaite pour rouler à 300 km/h car il n'y a quasiment personne aucune voiture. C'est même mieux que l'autobahn
Thank you for showing us glimpses into the real DPRK. Sure, it's not the full picture, but it's better than others who content with showing just the polished surface of Pyongyang.
thanks for all the clips
Gorgeous scenery, even in winter.
1:39 There's is no artifical light in the tunnel! 😧
Beautiful city,such wonderful Nature and really nice people,reminds me in some ways to Canada **
What kind of people would dislike Mr. Parker's video?
Man I can totally imagine Top Gear going on road trip through North Korea. I'd definitely watch an episode about that. I mean, they've been through war zones of Iraq, the Chernobyl site, the North Pole, the Amazon rain forest, Africa, getting chased by the police in Albania, like they literally go anywhere. Thought I doubt they'd go to North Korea because of the restrictions and stuff.
3:55 You can tell this store only exists to give the appearance of normalcy. The bottles of soda all evenly spaced, not a single one missing. No supermarket on earth has fully stocked, perfectly faced shelves. No one stocks bottles with an inch of space between them. It's smaller than most convenience stores and yet 100% of the stock on the shelves could fit into 1/3 of the space.
Wonderfull landscape!
watching this video make me feel like watching an old movie from the 70s .... just road and mountains ....
Beautiful scenery there.
Good work, Jaka. I'd not be surprised if you'd find the famous Pjun Jung-shi "Tea girl in North Korea" one day :-)

The roads are actually better than in Norway with similar topografi. While the surface is worse, the road is much wider than any major highway in Norway would be on the country site. Also the curvature is much gentler.
Its like Finland
Niko Kovanen ni
it should be very dark in the night. there is no street lighting as well as lighting inside the tunnel. looks silent and scary

Who do you call when you car breaks down?

Wow love the landscape
3:34 café Pelé café brasileiro!!!!
@jakaparker Why do you blur/pixel that car that passes by before you come to the shop? What is the reason for doing that?
It is a post from Japan.
"POKKA" is a trademark of Japanese companies, I was surprised that it is sold in North Korea.
Thank you very much for your interesting videos ☆
bqq123 But they are not imported directly from Japan though. Instead they are imported from Singapore, which currently is a strong economic partner of North Korea. The foreign imported groceries are mostly imported from Singapore, after Indonesia, China and Russia.
shhh no one knows expired
I see places in rural China like this too, except with some more traffic, people on bikes, roadside business establishments and donkey carts.
Как круто! Вообще нет людей)
hope north korea will start to rebuilt all its highways for the incoming traffic
100km/s is a bit fast, don't you think
60 u.s. mph
Alex Rotaru most highways in Canada are 110km/h don't think it's that bad
Only a third of the speed of light
lol he'd be in pyongyang in less than 2 seconds
Beautiful landscape 💖💖💖
3:30 she got ferragamo belt damn
I really like your videos of North Korea!
Ah good ol concrete highways
so somebody uploaded a car cam video from North Korea. And my thoughts are not at all about the regime, but rather that it must be one of least air polluted places on Earth with this lamost non-existing traffic. I feel intrigued, if given a chance, I think I'd like to go there just to find out if I would be able to wtness some great air quality.
Café Pelé (Brazilian Coffee, very popular here) xD
