The perspective that is missing here is that the special food he ate at the restaurant which he ranked as cheap and low quality was far, far, far, superior to anything regular North Koreans would ever get to eat. Just the fact that there was meat there put it off the charts. Basically for $10, Drew experienced the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, North Korean style.

$10? Dang

[@TheMeloettaful]

I was wondering that myself when he asked if the restaurant was for the local people too or if it was a "Stage" Restaurant for the tourists ONLY. It's surprising and yet not surprising at all. Even though Drew didn't care much for the food besides the handmade cold noodles it's still the type of food the average North Korean citizen will not get to enjoy 😞. Like you said it's basically the rich and famous lifestyle North Korean style. I'll tell you what though even if it was an all expense paid trip to North Korea I STILL wouldn't go there. I would never be able to relax there at all never knowing if I'm going to do something "wrong" according to them 😥.

He said he’d like to travel and see the world more if he had a chance but it’s nearly impossible for him to do so, he is not even allowed to travel freely within the country. And all the information they have been receiving are given by the government while they have no internet and other sources to validate it. So if the Kim’s said they are richer and living in a better situation than the ppl in the south they can only believe so.

@@BianLee ight let me tell you the truth about warmbier, the cia made a 20k usd deal with him if he brought back a poster from a office building restricted from non-government that was in the hotel he was staying, he trespassed into government property and admitted to his crimes in the court, he didn't die from torture, 5 AMERICAN doctors examined his body after he died and said there was no sign of torture, burises or scratches and on top of that he was feeling headaches during his trip to the dprk as reported by fellow tourists.

I will never go to North Korea, or back to China even though I speak like 5th grade level Mandarin (can't read anymore forgot a lot) I just don't like being in a country where everyone is living a lie, not knowing how the world really is. But i do have a some fun talking to my ex Chinese girlfriend and telling her all the stuff she see on tv and in the news paper about the world is actually different. I'm surprised wechat has not kicked me off yet, I keep sending her all the stuff they don't want Chinese people to see including political stuff. Great little short video, is there any more fotage?
