      @@clockwork6973 Of course our governments will try to make it look as bad as possible, but there are many independent sources confirming this. I mean, "props for visitors" is a bit harsh maybe, but its fairly well known that there is a "rich" side of north-kora that is almost first-world like, and then a much larger poor side of north-korea on which the first world side is build upon. And obviously they are gonna show the rich side to tourists.
      Realistically speaking, while there of course also is manipulation going on on our side, we have to remember that we live an a culture that is much larger and that values freedom. When governments try to manipulate us they have to do so indirectly and its much harder and more limited since here everyone can just publicly disagree and they couldn't do much. In North-Kora however they can directly manipulate the masses and physically stop people who go against their agenda. Also they are a far smaller and more isolated community which makes manipulation far easier. Its is always important to note that there is more manipulation happening in our culture than many might be aware of, but its still not comparable to a dictatorship like North Korea. And also, there are more and more people here that arguably OVERestimate how much manipulation is happening here. because as I said, manipulating a culture like ours is far more messy and difficult, by no means impossible, but very much limited.

    The children reminded me of when I visited South Korea. My knowledge of the Korean language is very very limited, so when I visited Seoul, I had hoped that some people would know a little bit of English, but this wasn't the case. Almost no adults spoke English in Seoul. I guess Seoul isn't really the tourist destination that Busan or other places are, but I didn't know any better and I'm a city person. Anyway, during my visit I went to the national war museum and there were school groups visiting that day. I remember a school group coming up to me and saying Hello, I'm from Korea. And when I replied back in Korean to say I'm from the UK their faces lit up and they were so happy. They were the only people to speak English to me the entire time I was in Seoul, I really appreciated it and it helped me feel less lonely.

    I have no idea why this video popped up in the catalog, but since I was curious about
    North Korea I clicked on it. I'm a South Korean who is currently living in the USA, so I could understand what the kids were saying in the part when you were lying down (7:38). They were saying
    "Die American freak!", "You Americans.." It gave me goosebumps the moment they started to talk.
    Those poor children... Just getting traumatized to hate the world...

      they have this wierd jobber look on thier faces, a kind of poverty. Much happier than the NKs in this vid, but a different kind of sadness on their faces.
      For comparison, look at people in the middle East, like Qatar, bharain, maybe Saudi, they are the loveliest and liveliest people I've ever seen, if one of you ever go there, just look at thier faces and honestly tell me what you think compared to Americans.
