I do not condone support or promote the regime of North Korea in any manner whatsoever. Please do your own research
North Korea North Korea the propaganda
Kim jong-un his regime Human Rights prison camps for ballistic missile otto warmbier. It was a moment for the history books
I am NOT a journalist
I'm just some kid with a consumer camera who was lucky enough to gain access into the most isolated
And controlled country in the world. This video series is a product of that
Hi guys
so welcome to another day here on the east coast of North Korea sending a coffee on my balcony about
The beaches behind me they arrived here last night. Like I saw on the last episode from Pyongyang the capital city
we've got like a little bit of the drive this morning and then we're gonna check in to our new hotel I think and
Explore around that area. I think there's a few cooler things including going to a local beach single the locals still debate
What took sick, but maybe I can get some good footage out of the side of the window
Extremely bumpy like ready for another day ready to see what North Korea has in store as I'm sure it's gonna blow my mind again
So our first stop of the day was at a temple, but to be honest I didn't get that many shots
I'm sorry about that. I was more interested in the farmers outside the temple
I got these nice slow-motion shots of the farmers here
you can see the
Tractor looks like a very old tractor also another farmer using a cow to pull him around the field
Again made me think I was living in the 1940s
there was
literally nothing to tell what I was seeing apart from the early 20th century and then we jumped back in the bus and headed into
the city
So just arrived at the m own Grand Theatre
This is where they hold events famous singers and things will come down. But this is the second biggest city in the DPRK
Population of 800,000 people. So have a look
Those heaps of kids around here and they're saying hello and things like yelling and really confident which is
different to what we've seen normally the kids are a bit more reserved, but these kids are just
Screaming. Hello from the other side of the road. It's pretty cool
It's a military action going on over there. So I can't film it because you're not allowed to film the military. So pretty action-packed
I'll try to get some of the kids saying hello, but not sure how it okay
What's your name?
I'm Nick nice to meet you
Hello, come some knee dad
Thank you nice to hear
Hello
Hey come suddenly that
Thank you
Bye I've got a couple interactions there on camera. One of them was a bit zoomed entity sober still cool super nice kids
They're really shy
Pioneers days early kids are practicing food pioneers there
So mine is day is if I understood it correctly, it's like the first stage of the political system was something I know
I'm completely not saying this right but it's something that exists in socialist countries
They started this age and then if they want to they can go on to be part of the Kim il-sung and Kim jong-il
Party or something like that. I think this is mandatory. So all kids have to do this once a day
They have a parade which is in six days. So luckily we're here on this day. We got to see them practicing
So this is rehearsal in a few days time, then they'll have the grand ceremony all over the DPRK
I think we're heading up and going to another coastal city. I think that two and a half there's drugs
So after driving for a few more hours through the countryside we arrived at North Korea's biggest
Agriculture university most of what we were shown were pictures of Kim jong-il cuz he actually came here in 2009
And so there's pictures of his visit all over the university. You can see here
We had a tour guide and she was so proud and she kept talking about Kim Jong Il's visit also
This photo here is actually of kim jong hoon on the right hand side
This is the second take of the photo because the first take apparently the man on the left wasn't smiling enough
So Kim Jong hoon told him to retake the photo and smile more
I don't know how true that is, but it was coming from the guides mouth
so they showed us more around the university really nice grounds and
this triangle on the ground here is where Kim Jong Il's stood they
Never went to difficut, but he was here
So they put these little tiles down to remember exactly where he stood after the University
We jump back in the bus and drove past heaps and heaps of locals farmers. You can see in the rice paddies here
Like I said in the last video it's rice transplanting season. So it was just packed with people in the fields here
Can see these big factories in the background, I would love to have visited more factories
But we're only allowed to visit that one in the last episode the fertilizer factory. You can see these villages in the distance
Here we didn't visit these villages sadly. It would have been interesting
You can see some mosaics here driving past some locals sitting in the shade
They're driving through the mountainous landscapes of North Korea the rivers pretty stunning countryside
Alright guys survived arrived in my
luxury
Apartment here on the beach for this room
I thought to myself is massive public living area here with a camera and a desk. Let's do
We just stop again here for a couple minutes then we're going for lunch
Nice bathroom
Driving here was interesting like this some the whole will at least the roads
We follow this just farmland everywhere
No matter where you go, then using all the land up performing then there's so many workers in the farms
There's just thousands and thousands of thousands of workers and a we drive later. We're gonna go to the beach before that
We're going to the railway station, but before that we're going to lunch. Anyway, let's just do it
There's so much happening as per usual. So let's get into it
The softer Megan smiling
So it just arrived at the train station
I think we're gonna go in and have a look. The train station wasn't anything too exciting
The Train was beautiful, but that was about it
Apparently why this is so important is because Kim il-sung actually visited this
train station and took this train and his seat is
still covered to this day to preserve it and the guides were just telling us how
Noble he was because he wrote in third class you get the picture these kind of stories are really integrated into the tours
Okay, so I arrived at the beach pool diving boards and things
in the background
I'm so we're gonna go and try those out, but apparently this is foreigners only Beach
There's some locals over in the distance there, but we're not really allowed to kind of go over there
so maybe we'll see some out in the water but
It's just gonna be
Yeah
Any rocks to bed, can I run without breaking my ankle
All right, so
we'll finished up on the beach like five or six of us swam out to the
Diving board there and we all jumped off. I think it's like 10 meters last thing I expect to do in North Korea
I didn't bring a GoPro or anything so I couldn't film it but
It was a lot of fun and nice change of routine and pretty relaxing
Anyway, I think we're going for like a group walk soon or something, and I've got like a group of 10 people
Watching me laughing
Hey laughing
After the beach we stopped in this little art gallery for a few minutes one of the group spent
800 euros on a painting and then we headed to the pier
so now we're just taking a walk along the pier checking out the locals lots of locals sitting up fishing line and
Fishing and then big the schnitz over here
This is the main seaport of the DPRK. So in the distance, there's the port but we can't go over there
Let's pit here. And this is where all the locals
Eating and fishing and things the interesting
So this is one of my favorite parts of the whole trip walking along this pier and just seeing these locals go about their daily
life fishing
and crabbing and having little
barbecues on the side of the water that I didn't get too many shots that because I didn't want to be
Too imposing with my camera put in and the locals faces some of the locals don't mind the cameras
But some really don't like it. So you've got to be very careful with what you do with your camera, which is fair enough
Imagine a bunch of foreign-looking people walking around filming you in North Korea
Which doesn't get many foreigners so I can imagine it being can be quite daunting
But yeah, just to see all these people, you know going for a walk in fishing and riding bikes
It was truly something special that I'll never forget
So far here in the DPRK it was a bit more laid-back in the afternoon compared to the previous days was fun
Just going out to their little floating island jumping off the high diving board
The crew and they got for the walk along that, PA
You saw those shots just now so girl to see like that local life. You know, it's so interesting
This country, you know because it's hardly affected by the outside
Well, you don't see anybody walking down the street with a phone in their hand. It's just not a thing here
It kind of feels like I'm musical in a way, you know, no words, really
I just want to show you this little clip that I got from down the beach
These ladies were just hanging out dancing and there was three of us. Just just watching them
They looked up and saw us and started waving and you know, we were clapping. It was really nice
Check out this clip of these ladies
So pretty cool as you can see there
Anyway, guys, I'm gonna finish the video there. We got again for Dennis said go to a restaurant
I'm gonna film that because I've showed you a little bit already. It's kind of similar each time delicious tomorrow
We are going to the mountains that we're going to hiking so
Like I say every day don't know what to expect probably gonna get my mind blown again
A lot of this trip few guys left yet. Stay tuned
And if you want to go back and check any of my North Korea videos if you haven't seen them
I've got like a whole heap and they still want to come. It's a little link below in case I don't see you
Good afternoon. Good evening, and good night, bro, North Korea
You
