If you travel to North Korea, you will find that there are many different things here. When I traveled to North Korea, three aspects left a deep impression on me. The first impression is that the pace of life here is slow, and the slow pace can be divided into two parts, the first part is that the speed of transportation is very slow. We ran more than 200 kilometers from Sinuiju to Pyongyang for six hours.
Taking the highway from Pyongyang to Kaesong, we took a tourist bus, more than 100 kilometers, and ran for more than three hours. North Koreans mostly go out on foot, ox carts and bicycles, and the speed is also very slow. The other part is that North Koreans seem to be leisurely and do everything slowly, for example, in the fields, the people working are very slack, and the salespeople working in some state-run stores also have a lazy look.
A second impression of North Korea is that much of its infrastructure is old. The first is that the buildings are relatively old, and many buildings in North Korea are built relatively old. A lot of the appearance is peeling. Secondly, the cars are relatively old, and on the highway, you will find cars produced in the fifties and sixties running. The third is that the road is relatively long, many sections of the road are in disrepair, uneven, and the car is very bumpy on it.
The third impression of North Korea is that there are many propaganda posters and propaganda slogans in North Korea. After entering North Korea, you will find that you can often see eye-catching propaganda slogans in the rural fields, and in the cities, various propaganda posters are most common. However, billboards about commercial publicity are not visible.
On the streets of Pyongyang, there are also special propaganda vehicles with several loudspeakers on the roofs of the vehicles, broadcasting various messages. And at the subway station in Pyongyang, I heard similar propaganda broadcasts.
