Life in North Korea?

Question

how is life like in North Korea (economically, psychologically,...etc)? I saw some photos in North Korea website, there is some thing about life in North Korea that i can't describe.

Answer 1

Not having been there personally, I can just go off of various things I have read, seen on interviews etc.

Economically, the government holds the majority of North Koreans wealth.
North Korea boasts some overly elaborate buildings and structures, some of which have not had the funding to be completed. There is also no specific need for these structures, as the toursim industry to North Korea is severly lacking, due to strict immigration rules and prohibited entry.

The average North Korean does not have an easy life, some are even restricted travelling within their own country. Everyone should worship the 'Dear Leader' and wear his name on a badge... if not they will be ostracised.

There have been reports of cannibalism in North Korea, as well as the eating of bark. Malnutrition is a prominent problem, especially amongst young children.

The roads in North Korea are designed more as landing strips opposed to actually being used to drive on, as there is not a need for a 6 laned road... majority of North Koreans dont have the finances for vehicles.

News and other current affairs are highly censored, and citizens have been brainwashed into believing things. There is a wax sculpture of their 'Dear Leader' which they have been led to believe is only one of 2 wax sculptures in the whole world. Hence another reason why they think he is so special.

Again I will stress that this is purely what I have read, seen or heard, none of this I have seen with my own eyes.

Answer 2

The mobile phone you need to deposit at the airport. He put in a cloth bag and somewhere to carry. Instead, give a receipt on rice paper. Telephone bring back before departure. No roaming, of course not, so the signal is not displayed on your phone. But if you go to the manual network selection, the operator is offered PRK 03. This means that there is a cellular communications. Although I never saw a single person with something resembling a mobile phone.

Oddly enough, you can safely bring a camera and a laptop. The fact that there are cell phones in the form of cards that can be connected to a computer, there did not seem to suspect. I hope the reader will forgive me the dubious quality of some of the photos - except species at scheduled stops, filmed from the car window at a speed of 100 km / h.

Internet in the country, of course, too (there is an intranet). The computer I saw three times - at the passport control, in the hotel and in the exemplary home exemplary exemplary kolkhoz collective farm. Since this is almost the only house in the country where a foreigner can enter, image-makers prudently installed in the living room something like a computer (system unit defunct already eight years the company Digital, Keyboard HP, the mysterious monitor speakers). Checked - the computer even for mind not plugged into the network.
