Petrol Station in Pyongyang, North Korea - Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- Since I came to Pyongyang in November 2012 until I left Pyongyang in March 2016 I got so many experiences.
I just wanna share a bit of my life experience in North Korea, mostly in Pyongyang. We are foreigners (Diplomats, Expatriates) who live in Pyongyang can roam freely around Pyongyang, and diplomats got more privileged than other expatriates.
There are also many Americans (USA), Canadians, Korean American who works as teachers and professors in Pyongyang.
Foreigners can travel to other cities outside Pyongyang, but we must request permission to Ministry of Foreign Affairs of North Korea.
Since I lived in North Korea, I already travel to other cities in Northern, Western, Southern and Eastern side. Sometimes I travel with a minder, sometimes I just drive my car by my own and with my family (without a minder),
#NOTE: I am not a diplomat and didn’t work for embassy.#
I bought a car in March 2016, I bought it second handed from a Russian woman whose an expatriate too.
I have North Korea driver licence.
In this video is a Petrol station that located near Foreigners compound, I always bought petrol in this petrol station, because the petrol quality in this station is better than the other stations in DPRK, but the price is sure more expensive.
Since I Iived there, the price of petrol (Benzene 95) is fluctuate in in range of 0.74 USD - 0.92 USD per litre. Yes the price in USD, but we can pay in Euro and Chinese Yuan.
Ok, so this is my 50th 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...

She'll never watch this video, ever.
Driven like a true Indonesian
I love videos like these where you can see everyday life going on.
I bet she hears "it's okay, I'll wait" a lot in her job lol. Great videos man, I am loving them.
I would love to go fishing in North Korea one day!
"What car do you drive?"
"Oh I've got a BJ2024Z2Q1F1"...
You need more of this girl. We need you to take more videos. She is something special/
I love your vlogs and hello from Australia 🇦🇺 I hope to see more? Do you upload often? North Korea is fascinating
Straight as in my Soviet childhood! Virtually no cars on the streets, and those that have - a Soviet truck ZIL,absolutely no advertising, a lot of people on the public transport, there is no crime, everywhere the same apartment building and it is not clear how they build these houses, if no construction cranes and other specialized equipment. And the girl seems really sweet. Very similar to the Russian Bashkir girls
I think Korean women are some of the most beautiful women.
That's because you're not allowed to film the ugly women and they purposely select attractive looking women for public service jobs. If you're an unattractive woman in North Korea you're probably in a field somewhere harvesting rice.
@@187onasimp Hello Daddy
The pretty ones a purposely put in public places like petrol stations. It's all staged
6:03 That smile ^‿^
I love your videos. They're so instructive. Thanks a lot. I'm a fan of Asian Culture. North Korea is a special point.
This explains the decrease in DPRK fuel imports from china when jaka is not in the country.
I don't know much about Japanese cars - but I do know Lexus does not make a passenger bus lol. 8:52 So bizarre this country that's not really a country.
That town is just like 60's . Man North Korea is very simple but beautiful..
4:44.
The driver is in serious transgression, even true in North Korea, straight through traffic takes precedence!
Worldwide traffic rules are the same!
The gas station attendant girls are very cute in NK. At least that's something.
Thanks for this footage!
By the way: When you make a turn into a sidestreet, you should stop the car and wait for pedestrians, not honk and drive on...lol !
At least not here in Denmark.
drumstick74 but thats the way in indonesia Lol
Sukma Black
Ok ;) I guess traffic laws differ from country to country.
She is amazingly pretty. I would like to rescue her.....
White knight syndrome...smh
The girl face is natural beauty,not plastic 😉👍😊😘
That's one of the things I love about North Korea. They know they're Korean and don't try to make themselves look like white Americans. They know who they are.
@@bestrafung2754 lol it's not like they have a choice. They dont have plastic surgery in NK and thats why they are all natural.
She reacts not like a typical NK, she is beautiful.
I came here because of the yeonmi park's video, she mentioned that beautiful girls in north Korea works at gas station 🧐and seems like it's true 🤔
In Thailand arbeiten junge hübsche Mädchen bei der Müllabfuhr !
It's weird. The first thing I notice is the fact that no one seems to be looking down at a phone or tablet.
because most of the country does not even have power let alone internet.
이 거리들도 서울 시내처럼 복잡하게 되는 그날이
오면 이 영상은 추억이 되겠지.
Why are NK women so adorable?
I Noticed a lot of women from North Korea are very very beautiful
Your videos are amazing, your seem to be the longest person living in north korea with a film camera than anyone I watched!!
No homeless sleeping on the sidewalks,,not like every city in the USA,,,
allen plante yeah the capital where most people who live there are government insiders and foreigners...
Fascinating country and people.
The people have made so much progress.
Thankyou for posting.
Do not be misled by this vlogger, only party members have the luxury he has!
Hawkeye the best Since the economy improved I am sure that the lives of all North Koreans has improved !!
Internet is banned in North Korea.
Hawkeye the best Things are improving !!.
Hawkeye the best internet is not banned only high ranking government officials can have internet and computers but the government is filtering out tons of things in the internet
Wow, it looks like time stopped somewhere in the early 60's in North Korea....it's miserable, yet very very fascinating :-)
You know what I just realized? The gas pumps are old german gas pumps. I wonder how they got there.
From Western Germany or Easter Germany or from after die Wende?
Dynamo Dalston Submarines
The Pyonyang subway cars are old East German U-Bahn-Wagen as well, just re-painted.
I curious about those cars, are the produce it by them self??
i had no idea north korea had electric buses!
north korea looks like 80s soviet russia
Damn right bro. I living in Russia and in most citys all environment looks same. Not so poor and dead of course but almost similar.Don't let commies get into government - this what happens when they come in)))
You mean - don`t let democrats get into government. Because everything was good until Gorbachev the friend of West got into government, and then Yeltsin, even more democratic :)
My parents remember the soviet time, same shit as in this video.
democrats = commies just the different name.
Most prisons do look very clean and orderly...
These roads are way better than Indian Roads
I've done this all my life... I even worked at a gas station when I was a teenager. We pump our own gas here.
Steve H congratulations. In the olden days the attendant used to pump the gas. They used to call them service stations.
I used to work at this exact same gas station
@@NeyDogg I used to work at a service station now I own one it's open 24 hours a day with mechanics on duty and a tow truck and slot machines and a Diner 50s theme
emang yang natural itu lebih enak diliat daripada yang oplasan..
Man, Pyongyang doesn't look that bad at all. Actually, a lot better than many cities in the west.
why don't you move there?
Ry Mo If You dont like there, just, move. we are welcome foreigners here. and it's very secure.
Having driven in Chicago many times... Yeah I'd much rather drive through Pyongyang!
***** how will You get a car there? Normal ppl can't have a car...
Just like all the others who have cars there.
To be honest, all the cars on the street look good. You don't see the beaten down old wrecks you encounter in Western countries.
The model looks kinda old tho
@@eli_chaps I see far more older, dirty and run down cars on the streets of Western Europe, North America or Australia.
@@Seal-hs5il That's because having a car is a privilege for the elite. If that were the case in first-world countries, you would only see Ferarri's, Maserati's, Royce Rolls etc.
The bigger the shithole, the nicer the cars you'll see. It's the state of the roads and sidewalks that tell the real story about a society's wealth if we're being honest here.
A truck-driver told me which states in the US had the worst roads. They were all considered to be poor states.
Since the 1st time i saw ur vids, why its not monetized??
I neva saw an ads coming, hope ull make ur channel monetize, coz the content its so worthed.
Really ? I saw ads here and there tho...
So beauty natural face👌 , no plastic face
Beautiful. No trash ads on the streets..
I've got a feeling he travels miles out of his way just to see her for his petrol.
@ 3:31 you can see a solar panel array on the 4th level balcony of the pink building on the left side. Now that's a smart person! no blackouts for them.
gerling tascam 😂😂
honestly can say looks better than south. i live in south
you have a problem with your eyes. :-)
Mario Huana hahahahahaah
Well what's stopping you? Go to North Korea.
well i told you my idea. everyone can and will feel different about things! there is no one truth
For a Split Second I thought I saw a Ford SUV I thought I saw a Ford Explorer A 1999 Ford Explorer
Hermosa ciudad, ordenada y limpia
Tahun 2022 masih saja enak ditonton setelah menonton pertama kali di tahun 2018. Gak macet n gak banyak polusi.
nice videos from north korea. I would like to go there but I dont know if it is possible. Hi from Mexico
Lo mas Caro es el boleto de avion a China ( a Shanghai desde la Ciudad de Mexico como entre 23,00 a 35,000 pesos) y trasnbordar avion a Beijing(como 5,000 pesos). La visa puedes conseguir en Beijing y cuesta 50 euros. El viaje a Pyongyang con hotel y transporte e desayuno, comida y cena cuesta entre 700 euros por tres dias 1,000/1,300 por ocho dias hasta 2000 euros por nueve dias. Estos precios tambien depended de que paquete escojas con koyro tours para tus acomodaciones y que quieras hacer esos dias. Suerte amigo...
ya investigue vuelos a beijing y me sale com en 13 mil pesos saliendo de los angeles o san francisco. lo que no se es donde puedo contratar el tour a korea del norte y como le hago para sacar la visa amigo. tu ya fuiste?
"its okay, i can wait"
men 🤣
In Indonesia, waiting to fill up with gas is a common thing
If you tried to drive out of Pyongyang, would you meet checkpoints? You said on another video you can leave the capital only with permission.
This has the most traffic I've seen in videos of NK!!
the closest thing to a dab in North Korea 0:02
They look better than South Korean girls
crave24567 yep, all bone.
Im south korean and I strongly agree about that.
Hoping that someday , i could meet a north korean lady . They possesd the natural beauty of korean woman.
she is very pretty...
KOREAN GIRLS ARE SWEEEET! 😍
How much does it costs per litre in North Korea?
he loved the view. thats why he waiting
North Korean crosswalks give the cars the right of way lol
I'd wait all day for her!
i see many people here ask why he was able to move so freely in north korea, there are two possibility's..
A. He worked as a photographer for the DPRK
B. He was a embassy employee.
His wife works in the embassy of malasia
His wife works in the embassy of malasia
C. He was a foreign teacher
Why is it that every other NK video shows no cars at all, yet this shows tons of cars on the road?
Peace ToAll I've never seen anything staged with cars on the road.
You wrote my question ;)
ProudToBe AnAmerican
you be surprise cuz NK gov. NEVER allow anyone to film any place in their country without their approval & their supervising. These type of STAGED areas are only for either the NK high ranking party members or the foreigner. You will be punish hard or imprison if you try to film the rural areas where real poor NK citizens are living.
ProudToBe AnAmerican
Maybe because that is what you want to see...
Hebat pak Jaka. Berapa harga bensin di Korea Utara? Mahal nggak?
The street is so clean and the traffic is so organized. If you are in Jakarta now, I bet you are quite fed up with the traffic.
Overall looks like pre-Perestroika USSR with Chinese cars and Korean letters.
Hmm. That SUV-like vehicle, white numbers on black background license plate, is probably military or gov. vehicle. Same system remains in Russia.
Also, have you seen Soviet movie "Queen of gas station"? About pretty girl working on gasoline station. Video looks like modern Korean variety :)
she is so beautifull and natural
The North Korean Government has masterfully set up a road system which massages you with pleasant vibrations while you drive down it...
I'd get fuel every day, even if I didn't need it...
I look forward to your videos. Thank you ....
I wonder how they get all those foreign cars. Like do you think there's just a local Pyongyang Volkswagen dealer?
Lol of course they import... It can be from china...because china is friend with north korea
Yeah all their cars come via Russia, China, Indonesia etc
thank you for your video
holy shit more than 5 cars in one area
wide streets with low traffic.. I'd love to ride a sportbike in Pyongyang.. imagine a loud pipe on that Street
Watching this video because I'm curious, the gas station guard in North Korea is beautiful
must say it's not bit like how western media said
Paris should take this exemple, all can see here is a modern and clean city.
Modern? It has the look of a Soviet city in the 1960s, very sterile and dated looking.
I know right, it looks very old... :(
+Corver "peacefull"
***** it's surface is ...
+Corver Too quiet... at least for my liking.
NKorea should do what China did. That way, it will stay independent and make life better for its people.
Mason mason They don't care about the quality of life for their people. 😂
Is it against the law to upload this footage if you are a North Korean? If so, do you upload it with a VPN, internet cafe, or maybe a trip to China?
He's from Indonesia and he uploads it from NK
I wonder how they handle their auto-services - I mean how many stations and do they have variety ?
Does North Korea have a fire service? If so, I do not see any fire hydrants for water. What do they use for water supply?
KosukiFire .. Very few countries have the US type hydrants. They are in boxes in the ground in most places.
Vw Passat in north korea? I thought if they drive cars its gonna be cars like hyundai,kia,toyota etc
North Korea doesnt look that bad, it looks like a normal country.
but it´s not
This is only the capital Pyongyang, where the elites live.
you clearly know nothing about nk...
Believe me this city is better than New Delhi.
+Anon sword
I never been to New Delhi, but I believe you.. I really believe you.
lol. I hope Pyong Pyong is not better than Jakarta. Your kids are beautiful though :)
FYI. 70% of the most expensive real estate sold at Mayfair London is owned by residents of New Delhi who move there for 2 months during summer to chill. I absolutely wonder which water well do you live in.
Aman Arora it is not about the riches... It is about the overall look of the city, my director recently visit India for a business trip. Outside her very expensive hotel, right next to it you can see human turds laying all around...
People actually signal！ A rare sight here in Beijing I must say.
I noticed that too. Every vehicle leaving the petrol station used their indicators. This wouldn't happen in the U.K.
Nat Sabuannam People barely use indicators when theyre turning full stop in the UK bruh
+ctfcNIG In Brazil people dont even know how to turn properly
The roads look like really bad condition out of the gas station
I thought the same thing
You never go to Africa, this road is perfect.
Sekedar tanya bang, itu gedung-gedung bertingkat ada yang kerja/isi disitu???
Dilihat dari video2nya kenapa sptnya jarang kelihatan native korea, apa memang se-sepi itu?
So you can actually own things in the DRPK? Im really asking bc i have heard that immigrants are treated with lots of privileges in pyonyang, is this true?
No,
Why don't you let pedestrians and people on bycicles to cross the street before you?
typical of bad indonesian driver apply his habbit in foreign country...shamefull...
Tri Wahono It even seemed he beeped at one to tell him to stop. Wth? I wonder if North Korea has laws for this.
+Tri Wahono you do realise that not every country applies the same policy of giving way to pedestrians right? Yet this North Korea after all. North Korean driving rules=/= Indonesian or American driving rules.
ChopsticksAngel just because there aren't any rules that pedestrians and cyclist have the right of way, doesn't mean you stil can't stop. It's called morals.
In the United States its a pretty common law that you MUST give pedestrians the right of way. of course we have bicycle lanes, foot traffic lights. Cops all over the street on your ass if you dont ect. Just a different way of life there that's all. Things i may consider rude may not be rude to other cultures
What they do for entertainment in north korean? Any cinemas?
They have cinemas
@@jakaparker mas adakah vidio terbaru yg dari korut ?

@@jakaparker kemana mas ...... Kok g bikin vlog juga lagi ?
@@jakaparker how was your experience in North Korea???
your videos are really interesting, but they all seem to be in Pyongyang. Do you ever get to go outside the city and see the life of people in rural areas? or other cities?
+Dunixify
You can see the rural areas and pyongyang outside on my instagram
6:03, my God, korean woman are stunning
Dude, your videos are great. But your music taste sucks. Just leave the original audio. It's much better!
Gara2 sy liat vdeo Pak Jaka ngeview Nth korea, Anak sy usia 15 thn sy belikan kamus bhs korea - Indo.
Does North Korea have road rage?
Strange how there aren't tons of cops around.
You can hardly drive a couple of miles in the States without seeing cops or someone pulled over.
Comparing the states to North Korea? lol I am in Canada and we don't have many cops.
+zapzap88 that's the law America needs.
+Jay my first wife was Canadian, lived Ontario and BC.
Since Hong Kong sent mass refugees to Canada, yes there are cops. Sometimes even American police man Canada entry points...
Toronto was cool before Somali gangs...
+zapzap88
different mindset of the people, is what I think.
They got bombed, biological weapons dropped, agricultural weapons dropped, and they still defeated the USMC and the US Army.
In his videos you don't see litter or graffiti, plants are pruned... might be "poor" but seem happy.... what's your price?
Why don't you stop for crossing pedestrians?
Ned some countries have different laws for crossing pedestrians, for example China, you can go look it up if you want.
Kang/Mas/Pak Jaka, saya beberapa kali membaca artikel tentang Korea Utara yang bilang kalo di Pyeongyang, Korut itu jalan sepi mobil, cuma 1/2 mobil yg lewat. Tp kalo liat video2nya Jaka Parker lumayan ramai, bahkan disalah satu video sampai macet. Pertanyaan saya, apakah jalan umum di pyeongyang sepi atau hanya jalan2 tertentu (misal : dekat monumen atau kantor pemerintahan) yang sepi ?
Salam dari Indonesia
Terimakasih
2:27 was that an electric bus crossing the junction?
Also at 3:08
Yes, that's an electric bus
yes, one of the many groundbreaking inventions of Kim Jong Il
What`s wrong with electric buses?
nothing's wrong.i just wasn't expecting that in north Korea. electric buses are environmental friendly and cool!!
Must be an old east-german petrol station i guess? (Just guessing because the different sorts of fuel are named in german.)
Anyway ... 76 octane. Knew that this existed, but never saw it before.
probably... they use our old subways aswell.
She is sweet
