But at what cost?
As far as i know, DPRK is still pretty locked down as far as foreign visitors are concerned. From what Young Pioneer Tours have learned, the resort is for domestic tourism only.
I think everything about north korea always need a caveat that the place only has ~27 million people, theres simply not a lot of people in a regularish size coutnry
I mean, that's more than Taiwan
NK isnt subsisting off US foreign aid money and isnt run by evil capitalists
I'm sorry but this is obviously fake.
Everyone knows North Korea doesn't get the sun. It is always perpetually overcast to give the nation a doom and gloom look to it. Everyone knows the people of North Korea haven't ever experienced happiness and if they do they are taken by a commissar of emotional regulation and given 5 minutes to control their outbursts before they are killed and sent to work in a gulag.
This but it's England
And Russians most likely
It really is incredible what a difference it can make being North Korea, situated next to China and Russia, compared to Cuba with it being situated next to the US. Cuba would probably look more like this as well if it wasn’t located where it is.
I guess you could compare it to Venezuela and Nicaragua. Even under heavy sanctions, Venezuela still have huge shopping malls and resorts, and things have improved since Brazil and Colombia elected Socdems.
Cuba has resorts. It's one of the most popular vacation destinations for people from Canada, if I remember correctly.
It is absolutely popular. I know people who've gone. They hate "The Commies", and refuse to support AES states in any way, directly or indirectly, but they've visited resorts in Cuba.
Liberal cognitive dissonance is one hell of a thing.
Yes, but there are also power outages and most things are not in good condition. Cuba is still heavily dependent on Mexico, the Pink Tide/Liberal/Conservative friendly governments, China and some European states.
I hope they built this with the money they stole from crypto bros
A lot of people will talk about how the DPRK doesnt have the same "technology" as in like there arent tech gadgets everywhere for no reason, and i can't help but look at this and think like; How nice would this be? A pretty, clean beach town with no stupid internet shit everywhere. No advertising. I bet it has actual 3rd spaces where you can just go, and hang out without being expected to spend money. It would probably be so relaxing.
Those lake houses look like they are within reasonable walking distance of those bigger buildings, and i bet there are shops on the first floor of those. So you take a short stroll through those trees, and your at some local shop. No car needed. Since the sanctions restrict what they can get they probably have a lot of locally made stuff. Like little hand made things.
I would love to spend a few weeks there just to see what that is like.
Also i want to point out too that going off the design of those smaller buildings i think they are all multi-family units. Like the red ones seem to be split between upstairs/downstairs units, and the grey/beige ones look like they could have 2 units on each floor. Just going off the way the balconies are arranged, and the shape of the buildings. So these are clearly designed with the desire to house lots of middle-class-esque families while the larger white buildings are probably the even more affordable option. So the west will try to say this is for the "Kim family" or some other "elite class" of the DPRK but it seems pretty obviously designed for use by the masses not by a small number of elites.
I would guess the skyscrapers are the cheapest option, the gray/beige ones are the mid range option, and the red ones are the most expensive(maybe meant for foreigners specifically? Would be easy for them to find if they know their place is a different color, and the signs are in korean). Makes sense to have the most expensive ones along the water too. It looks really well thought out, and like it was designed to actually be a very nice place to go visit.
But there's no posh white tourists.
Think we could get a group rate if we all agreed to go together?
Bit idea: scheduling the Hexbear meet up in the DPRK and having the hotel list it as the "turbo lib convention."
Tbh, a huge commie meetup where a bunch of different leftist groups from all over the world are all converging in one place, and telling the country involved's government and the hotel/conference center we were something incredibly lame and apolitical or obviously liberal, would be pretty funny.
I have all sorts of diseases, we would be quarantined
You know it
I would absolutely do a Hexbear group trip if it was happening.
Hopefully we could organise something way better than when Tumblr tried to do a convention, lol.
