Slop.

I love that the west is like, “ooooo a beach resort, for us?!?” As if no other group of people could ever want to enjoy a vacation in their own country. The rest of the world is really just a collection of vacation spots for westerners.

I'm posting from there right now losers. I'm having juche libres with the homies

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'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.

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 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.
