I actually wouldn't mind spending a few weeks in pyongyang just because it has no advertisements or anything on the streets and the streets are squeaky clean.
Japan is comparatively very clean, and their cleanliness doesn’t come at the cost of someone’s freedom. The reward you get in NK for pretending a fat man is your god is you aren’t shot. In non-authoritarian states you can get a clean street and fair pay for your work.
@@fabiojr8082 it’s called objective reality. What is incorrect about what I said? Tell me exactly. You can go on the internet (if you live in a free society) and look at Japanese cities, they are clean. Where can’t you look at online? North Korea. That’s strike two: two objective examples of repression of freedom. What do you have? Cheap, lazy accusations? That’s what I figured. The “no, it’s you!” Argument that you apologists for genocide try to spin on “the west” as if the west is even REMOTELY coherent or believe the same things, ITS WRONG. You are demonstrably incorrect. In the US alone the politics are extremely divided. But that’s what FREEDOM OF CHOICE looks like. The “West” does not believe all the same things like the horribly repressed and totalitarian country of North Korea.

Uhm. This city is so clean and the people are civilised but it looks depressing a bit. By its looks, it is quite safe but the law is not that impressive. It looks like the rural cities in Northern Europe with totalitarian government.
Where in Northern Europe do you think about? I live in Norway in Northern Europe and our government is as far as it could be from being totalitarian as we definitely have well working a democracy with political parties, free elections, free press and freedom of speech.

Horrendously ugly city on the whole. If the government allowed foreign architecture firms to work there like many countries who understand beauty and value worldwide, it would look much better. Or, they could allow the repressed majority of the people to get educated in architecture and contribute new ideas, instead of damning them to a low songbun (social class) and giving all opportunity away to the elite class.
I actually wouldn't mind spending a few weeks in pyongyang just because it has no advertisements or anything on the streets and the streets are squeaky clean.
