Hmm. Most questions are going to identify you too easily if you answer. I guess, how are things different between Pyongyang, other cities and the rural areas? There are tours for outsiders, but they're very limited in the places they can go. How easy is it for a citizen to move from one place to another?
Obviously, all kinds of information is on the internet already, but is there something you would like us to answer directly?
Yes ... People from outside dont move free !! NK people can travel ... It is not the turth in documentaries that say we can not !! But in roads there are military ... They want to ask were you are going !! but you can travel free in NK ... Not in areas of the military .
Why do you live so fast ?? Life is good to be slow ... Clothes, social media, videos ... Why not enjoy ??
Why dislike NK so much ??
Capitalism. Line must go up.
We have the choice to live fast or slow. Move to the countryside or another country to live slow, chill or to the city to live fast and exiting. Our slow life is much slower than the fast nkorea life.
Because NK army people are travelling all the way to russia and tiny Ukraine to kill Ukrainians. Pretty much helping mighty huge russia trigger a WW3.
I think very few if any would say we hate NK or those that live there. Although the US does seem to be sliding into a strict authoritarian state we generally want other countries to allow free movement (inside and outside their borders) and free speech (no consequences for speaking ill of government). If you like simple living and not much distraction from social or digital media I'm happy for you.
It's the same here, although there's not many military areas in Canada. There's bigger ones in America, especially in the desert.
It's a really good question, and I'm not sure if I have a good answer.
One thing is that you can live fast in the West. I don't know exactly what it's like there, but I know in the USSR (when it was around) there was a lot of paperwork you needed to do things, and not everything was available all the time. That makes you wait. Meanwhile, all that matters in the West is how much money you have, everything is always available. So, people who have a bit of money end up chasing more and more.
If we could get better at enjoying what we have, it would be good.
Politics. You're scared of us, we're scared of you and we have disagreements about how things should work that stop us from making full peace. We know that you're the same as South Koreans, though, and everyone likes South Korean things. So, just politics.
