It is unknown how much exactly the North Korean leader, Kim Jung-Un spends on funding the Korean People’s Army, though it is said to be quite a fortune. The North Korean army uses lasers and missiles banned in other countries and has an impressive cyber warfare unit. It is mandatory for every North Korean over 18 to enlist, even women.
North Korea also has a surprising amount of submarines - between 70 and 75, which is the same as the US navy!
Here we see state workers carrying some unknown object across a bridge. Looks like they don’t have access to a truck or something that could carry the heavy object or at least transport the workers to their construction site.
Notice the brown uniforms. I guess it needs to be obvious that they work for the government.
This is one of their government buildings and the pictures displayed on the front are of Kim II-Sung. The supreme leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea right now is Kim Jong-un, Kim Il-Sung’s grandson.
Since this city is the nation’s capital, it is where all the federal government matters take place.
Public transportation is the most common way people commute to work and home. Not that many people have cars so the bus is a popular way of traveling. They still need a permit if they want to leave their city/town.
I guess taking the bus is a whole lot better than walking or biking!
Except for maybe a couple of buildings/monuments, the architecture in North Korea is pretty basic and modest. Here we have blocks of flats where the people live. This is where they call their home.
They look more like prisons than places to live.
