[@welovegarro]

The atmosphere in this video somewhat reminds me of my childhood here in Russia, when the soviet regime has collapsed, but the retail industry didn’t adapt yet and still used soviet-style uniforms for the workers, signs and overall dull design choices contrasting with vibrant products on the shelves. Quite nostalgic!

[@fungames24]

The uniforms here in the UK are very interesting (although I have no idea what they look like because I don't look at them) but the shelves are empty and groceries are unaffordable, also no eggs. Maybe this is more your thing, come and enjoy it.

I think its bc it only upload like an hrs ago so theres no subtitles, i can tell you what they talkin bout tho since i speak bahasa myself :)

[@JackG79]

I've been watching Mr. Parker for years, and I have said the same thing all along. Obv some people are in on the show, notice that him and the woman behind the service counter were bantering in English of all things.... i get the impression that if u know English in NK, and u are working retail. You are either in show biz, or the Ministry of State Security of the DPRK.

[@RedDevil926]

I obviously understand that it's probably not easy to upload these videos, not only security wise (I'd assume) but because of a lack of a good internet connection or a connection at all. So time urges when uploading the content and maybe there's not enough time to write subtitles At least for me, and I guess to a lot of other people that have a deep curiosity regarding North Korea, one of the most interesting things to see is the interaction between two parties because a genuine interaction will go a long way in terms of us understanding what a real North Korean is like when not under pressure from a state-sponsored minder like we see in the majority of the videos out there. And although the video is great, keep in mind that without the understanding of said interaction, we're pretty much just looking at a NK store while a dude buys tea and tries to get a good deal on tissue papers. From what I see out there in terms of content about NK, and prove me wrong if you can, Parker's videos are the most truthful and the most up-close we have when it comes to the people in North Korea. the most genuine at least, although I also understand that he gets special treatment being a foreigner

Well keep in mind this is the capital. Most of the people who go to this store are high class and or some form of government employee. Which would explain why nearly no one buys anything here. Most of the shelves are fully stocked, and what I know from working at places like these in the US, if something is fully stocked it normally means no one is buying or it was just stocked like a few hours ago. Either way, in North Korea, only the most privileged tend to live in it's capital.

Oh you want 입종이? And then she said something like 삭종이? Very interesting the differences in the language from North to Seoul. Also the first lady at the counter where he checks out the tea, you can see her name tag and she only has two names. This isn't too uncommon in the south, especially for a young woman and usually a 순한국말 (not Sino-Korean) given name. However, in this case I'd say it's much more likely that that woman is from China, perhaps 조선족. Can anybody make out the name on her name tag? Another curiosity: when he goes back outside after his shopping, we can see that he's parked next to a 40 year old Mercedes-Benz with the hood popped and a man working on it. On the door is "도로 순찰" which translates as "Road Patrol". I wonder what that is, likely not police and indeed I wouldn't expect the government to own a German car at all so I'm really curious.

Alot depends on your travel purpose, which is how youre allowed to enter the country to begin with.

If you are from a nation with good relations with the DPRK, there is more than likely other options to visit the nation on a Visa.

[@Saybleu]

I grew up privileged in the states, California, Hawaii, and Florida. This video and the comments are so eye opening. I’m in some sort of movie it feels like.

[@ravenapat]

you definitely weren’t privileged when you lived in florida😂 with all the insanity going around. i’m kidding LOL

[@sofyanwidiarto3501]

Nice video bang!!!

[@hainics9062]

Its strange at the beginning of the video it can be seen that everyone who comes out of the mall doesn't carry any shopping bags even the visitors look like they are not shopping maybe just looking, and I wonder how a large mall with a few visitors can pay a lot of its employees

[@whitealliance9540]

Honey, they only allowed in there 2 times a month lmao imagine if you needed an appointment to go to macys... I would walk around looking as well once i got in there

[@drdata1967]

Jaka when was this filmed. Was it during coronavirus? How are they treating it there?

[@quan-uo5ws]

Considering how closed this country is there probably isnt even a virus there.

[@G.MOB_]

DrData1967 You can see by the little piles of snow and what people are wearing that it must be freezing, so my guesses are late winter.

[@hiyaimamelia]

I don't really see how coronavirus could spread to North Korea as not many people actually enter or leave the country.

You videos always gives a glimpse of what most other can never do. I have read 11 books about the DPRK and have been fascinated by this place. It would be interesting to know what the total cost for the items was.

[@smokinC5]

Is it cold in these stores? No heat? Everyone is always wearing jackets lol

[@alexius23]

I recall shopping in Moscow in March of 1980. There was huge shopping mall on Red Square called GUM. I went with a bunch of tourists & the consensus was the Stores were K Mart. We also went to government stores called Berioskas. I am sorry if I butchered the name. Any way to get in you needed a foreign passport. To buy anything you had to use foreign currency....dollars, francs, pounds, Deutschmarks.....The quality was markedly better than in the stores for the average Russian...

[@cehaem2]

Most of these goods were imported, primarily from Finland or Sweden. Their main purpose was to skim off foreign currency. Soviet citizens that worked abroad were paid in foreign currency. The government exchanged their salaries and gave them instead Soviet Rubles and coupons that allowed you to shop there. Yes, you needed either a foreign passport or a permit.

[@ellebelle6439]

Wait I watched your videos years ago. Do you actually live in North Korea? I thought KZbin was banned there

[@casualguy634]

Well, from the comments people have left and his Instagram posts, he doesn't exactly live in North Korea but he does stay there for quite some time accompanying his wife who works on an embassy, as for videos he uploads them once he gets home, and as far as I know these are old footages, this videos for example came from November 2015.

[@thulig.dlamini9941]

I like how clean and neat North Korea is. I wish South Africa could be half this clean.

[@guybrushthreepwood2380]

u probably would get the death penalty for littering

[@jaxonwright2243]

SA used to be that clean.

[@chuarh7393]

It's the illusion they forcefully keep up. If you go to the countryside where most of the population live... You'd wish you were back in South Africa

Damn so happy life in indonesia. Now capital is really clean

[@MultiLimpet]

[@petefrodo9]

Thank you Jaka!!!!

[@thevibeinc]

It's also very interesting they don't just add scripting/coding to calculate currency conversions. They always use the computer cash register and the calculator to complete all transactions

[@LifeInPink999]

I swear it looks like Russian stores looked like till 1997 or so and maybe still look like in small poor cities (minus the cashiers those were extra primitive even for that time). But the ''no music'', everyone looking like it's a funeral and everything that I guess is worth more than 10 euros in cristal vitrines, the resemblance is chilling. Made me remember my childhood and appreciate more my parent's decision to move out to a more developed country in Europe.

[@jeanmanuel77]

I see more employees than customers! How these stores can survive..

[@_bubulance_]

State funded

[@Ms666slayer]

These are goverment stores designed exclusively for elites and diplomats, the uploader its an Indonesian diplomat so that why he can use the store.

I think your video will be better if you add some subs on it so we can understand what you are talking to them, or you can add some information about the building or telling us what u doing with a caption from the video. So we're not just watch your activities while traveling (that make me confuse actually) but you give us new information about North Korea.

[@connormacleod7010]

I really Do enjoy watching your videos

Its kinda scary how everything is so quite over there. But i really wonder how he is able to upload videos on KZbin...like isn't that a bit suspicious? I thought people in North Korea don't have access to the internet

[@AA-yn5nx]

ah i guess its just the difference in cultures. not all shops must be loud.

if i’m not mistaken he moved back to indonesia and uploaded it all from there :)
