I mean, the thing that makes the DPRK so fascinating (and also terrifying) is that it's literally the closest real world equivalent to something like 1984, Fahrenheit 451, or A Brave New World. Like, people can shit on their own governments and government surveillance in "the free world" all they want, but literally nothing comes close to this. On top of that, their whole recent tourism efforts are so dedicated to maintaining the illusion they desperately want the world to believe despite all of the cracks in the facade being obvious and almost nobody buying it. Like, these are some of the nicest living quarters in their entire country... and they look like 2 1/2 star hotel from the 70s. THINK ABOUT THAT!

NotSoFancyGames Well, here, think about this. There are several hundreds of countries, there are some that are completely first world, with virtually no government and no technology. Then there are first world countries that have an ok government, and they have some medium cities, and the rest is filled with disease and poverty, and perhaps some human rights issues. Then there are developing countries. These are the ones that have a nuclear program equivalent to the US in the 60s. Their computing technology is about 5-10 years behind most first world countries. They have some really nice cities, but still lots of poverty. This is where NK is.

The light inside your room operated outside in the actual hotel hallway brought back some memories. Outside my old staff housing for a hotel I worked at, my main light switch for the light in my room was controlled by a switch outside the kitchen, next to 2 other switches that operated the kitchen and the "recreation" area outside my room (just weights and stuff). So when a housemate wanted to go into the kitchen at night/early morning or use the weight set, he would always turn on my room's light and wake me up, before shouting "SORRY!". I swear I was close to becoming a murderer on some days

The second door is another room like it was shown at the end. Also it would be really inefficient for each room to have its own surveillance room especially one adjacent to it.

regarding the shower - it's some classic japanese style I think: First you wash/shower standing OUTSIDE the tub, THEN, when you're clean, you soak yourself into fresh, hot water in the bath tub. That's why the shower is connected to the sink and a drain in the floor.

Above practices are not exclusive to the Japanese. It's how everyone in East Asia (or at least used to) take baths and shower.
