Petrol Station in Pyongyang, North Korea - Part 1
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 09. 2016
- 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.
"What car do you drive?"
"Oh I've got a BJ2024Z2Q1F1"...
6:03 That smile ^‿^
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!
You need more of this girl. We need you to take more videos. She is something special/
thank you for your video
I love your vlogs and hello from Australia 🇦🇺 I hope to see more? Do you upload often? North Korea is fascinating
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.
I look forward to your videos. Thank you ....
Tahun 2022 masih saja enak ditonton setelah menonton pertama kali di tahun 2018. Gak macet n gak banyak polusi.
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
Your videos are amazing, your seem to be the longest person living in north korea with a film camera than anyone I watched!!
The gas station attendant girls are very cute in NK. At least that's something.
Why are NK women so adorable?
4:44.
The driver is in serious transgression, even true in North Korea, straight through traffic takes precedence!
Worldwide traffic rules are the same!
She is amazingly pretty. I would like to rescue her.....
White knight syndrome...smh
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
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
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.
i had no idea north korea had electric buses!
Hermosa ciudad, ordenada y limpia
@ 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 😂😂
이 거리들도 서울 시내처럼 복잡하게 되는 그날이
오면 이 영상은 추억이 되겠지.
This explains the decrease in DPRK fuel imports from china when jaka is not in the country.
I curious about those cars, are the produce it by them self??
Beautiful. No trash ads on the streets..
I love your videos. They're so instructive. Thanks a lot. I'm a fan of Asian Culture. North Korea is a special point.
emang yang natural itu lebih enak diliat daripada yang oplasan..
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.
Wow, it looks like time stopped somewhere in the early 60's in North Korea....it's miserable, yet very very fascinating :-)
I wonder how they handle their auto-services - I mean how many stations and do they have variety ?
she is so beautifull and natural
This has the most traffic I've seen in videos of NK!!
real beauty
For a Split Second I thought I saw a Ford SUV I thought I saw a Ford Explorer A 1999 Ford Explorer
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...
0:00 Secondhand bus used in Japan. 日本で使われた中古のバス。どこの都道府県で使われたんだろうか？
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 !
I Noticed a lot of women from North Korea are very very beautiful
Most prisons do look very clean and orderly...
I'd wait all day for her!
Awesome!
+Toby ConcepcionThank you for your appreciation.. many people thought I am doing propaganda.. I just wanna share my daily life in Pyongyang, and doing this by my own will. I know what I am doing is a little 'dangerous', but I think many people outside want to know about North Korea... I hate if somebody comments negatively to my video, they didn't give a respect to my work, I try to give a glimpse of important information about North Korea through my video.. I think they should give me a little respect, I don't care about politic situation in North Korea, that's not my business, every country has they own system and no of them is perfect. So thanks again for give me a positive comment. Sorry for my bad english.
Just keep doing your thing man. I'm from southern california and the stuff you put up is super cool! Question if you don't mind? How are you able to live the way you do? What I mean about that is like how are you able to buy your own car like what is it do you do in north korea for a living? It's just really awesome to see normal life over there and maybe people would want to move there you never know, good job on the videos and keep it up!
Vw Passat in north korea? I thought if they drive cars its gonna be cars like hyundai,kia,toyota etc
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...
평양...이제 곧 남쪽에서 평양을 가 볼수있을것만 같은... 기대 해 봅니다^^
A lot more cars there than I thought there were
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?
I just saw SG-12 they just beam Down from the USS Saratoga the USS Saratoga has a famous Squadron known as the 58th Squadron AKA wild cards
How much does it costs per litre in North Korea?
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.
She reacts not like a typical NK, she is beautiful.
8:20 United Nations Land Cruiser passing by... interesting to see
I give you two thumbs up broo..
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.
he loved the view. thats why he waiting
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.
cool music
wide streets with low traffic.. I'd love to ride a sportbike in Pyongyang.. imagine a loud pipe on that Street
I've got a feeling he travels miles out of his way just to see her for his petrol.
holy shit more than 5 cars in one area
Your vids always start out gangsta 😎
"it´s ok I will wait" yeah... you "always wait"
senyumane marai pengin turu meneh
That town is just like 60's . Man North Korea is very simple but beautiful..
Gara2 sy liat vdeo Pak Jaka ngeview Nth korea, Anak sy usia 15 thn sy belikan kamus bhs korea - Indo.
Traffic rules for cars over there seem to be quite different from those over here... Which makes me kinda sad. :(
So beauty natural face👌 , no plastic face
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...
Could someone explain:
I never understood why in the former Soviet States (or close states to USSR) number plates are also drawn on the vehicle?
Why is that? For what reason?
Thanky!
They don't have enough resources to make a separate plate.
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.
the closest thing to a dab in North Korea 0:02
cantiknya asli
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
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 :)
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.
Does North Korea have road rage?
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.
good bit of traffic.
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
"its okay, i can wait"
men 🤣
In Indonesia, waiting to fill up with gas is a common thing
How long did you stay in North Korea?
Also, how did the locals treat you both?
Verrrrry Niceeeeee
Welcome to City 17.
76 RON Benzin??? WOW.
Thsi one is my favorite...
beautifull place
Hehehe... 5:35 let the music begin... and my heart goes 'pop'! I'd wait for that cutie forever.... and I'll guess I will have to do just that... (Just out of curiosity, how much is the petrol in American dollars and, I notice no one had credit cards!)
Gas just skyrocketed from $209 to $239 a gallon, I'm not happy about it
she is very pretty...
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,
07:17 - Pojok kanan ada yang cuci mobil itu mas ? mirip daihatsu grandmax pun ! :D
I'd get fuel every day, even if I didn't need it...
What they do for entertainment in north korean? Any cinemas?
They have cinemas

@@jakaparker how was your experience in North Korea???
were there any shortages of petroleum at gas stations?
I'm going to use this video for my documentary
+Jorge Rodriguez
DONT DO THAT!
+Jaka Parker I'm doing it you can't stop me and because you won't allow me now I'm not giving you credit
Its illegal, unless he allows you to use it. Ever heard of copyright?
Jorge Rodriguez Reported you for multiple reasons. Hopefully your account gets closed.
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.
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...
Muito bonita a cidade
The North Korean Government has masterfully set up a road system which massages you with pleasant vibrations while you drive down it...
