Scenes from Pyongyang

This guy managed to discreetly take HD video of his guided tour of Pyongyang, North Korea. You won't see anything other than the showy, "extravagant" metropolis that is North Korea's capital city, but it's pretty interesting nevertheless. Notice the complete and utter lack of advertising (other than that for the Great Leader of course). Weird.

If you want to check out another documentary from inside NK (there aren't exactly many to choose from), take a look at the Vice Guide to North Korea. It's really good and shows just how big of a show the tours are. I'm not sure who they think they're fooling, but man do they try.
