Great news for the 40-odd North Koreans with enough wealth to eat at a restaurant.

There is also a store next door that sells Italian goods. Can't tell how they're supposed to be Italian goods from this small picture, but nonetheless the store sign says "Italian specialty goods."

this is a good thread. thank you OP

>>11295044
Completely empty, like it's always going to be. We might get a couple more pics of Jong-un surrounded by actors pretending to enjoy their meals, and then never again.

>>11295123
Kanye should shoot his next video here.

So someone inform me, is North Korea actually getting better or are citizens still starving?

>>11295214
nothing has changed. at all. it's the same shit.

>>11295214
It supposed is slightly better because Kim Jong-Un started allowing people to run small businesses legally, or at least until the sanctions kicked in about year and half ago.

>>11295214

Heard there's a new famine a-brewin' yet again.

>>11295033

>b-but muh drumpf!
>hey guys, I fell in luv with Kim, ok?
Yeah, no.

>>11295272
You lie you running dog lackey of capitalism

>>11295063
Depressing. Especially for what looks like an expensive restaurant from the decor

>>11295074
Looks like what you feed a fussy toddler

>>11295099
This looks like a photo out of a 1950's Good Housekeeping catalog. With a plastic coke on the table. Why is this restaurant so fucking creepy?

>>11295063
not all of the cheese is melted....

>>11295099
I understand that North Korea might not be able to access the best ingredients, but they can't afford to train one fucking chef for their propaganda restaurant?

>>11295214
Things are better than every. More abundance in resourse more full belly and home internet connect faster. Many more web site able to visit.

>>11295232
It's still illlegal, but it's been impossible to prosecute all of them since the government temporarily lost control in the famine back in the day. Eventually, though, if your business is too successful they come and seize everything, every time.

>>11295099
What is the utensil where the spoon is supposed to go?

>>11295385
Metal chopsticks

>>11295373
>more full belly
Yes, having food is indeed a good thing. Congrats, your country has move one rung up, to above war-torn countries in Africa.

>>11295390
There's only one though.

>>11295396
They're on top of each other

>>11295404
Cool, thanks.

>>11295383
Kim Jong-il would periodically prosecute people for running even a farmer's market stall and seize all their assets. Kim Jong-un specifically has said small-scale businesses (i.e. no factory) will not be prosecuted.

>>11295418
You're probably right, it's less restrictive than it was. Still sucks to have an arbitrary and vague threshold of success that you get fucked over for crossing.

Is this not the place though?
And yes, there's so many things wrong with this video (and the guy's other videos and channel as a whole), but I've analyzed it so deeply that I'll leave the fun to /ck/ here.

>>11295616
What an interesting video. My favorite part had to be the soulless karaoke performance.
I'm glad you showed me this guys channel

>>11295616
NK guide seems way too westernized.

>>11295033
Blatant Russian and Chinese propaganda aside who would realistically sign up to be a chef here

>>11295404
>>11295411
They're not on top of each other, they're side by side.

>>11295658
Many of them are sent away to be educated, to western countries. Jong-un did all his schooling in Switzerland.

>>11295042
>>11295373
Go to bed, Kim

>>11295099
That Chef Boyardee tier spaghetti

>>11295418
Part of this is because Moon Pies that get smuggled into North Korea are being used as a currency, seeing as the country doesn't have one. DPRK's setting up small scale businesses to try and get people to stop trading contraband chocolate bars for shit.

>>11295042
>incels are now nork tier deluded
this timeline just gets better and better

>>11295911

>>11295955
North Koreans literally were using these things as currency.

>>11296321
Well, have you had one of those? I'd be willing to switch to a choco-pie-based economy, them things are delicious.

>>11296603
>>11296321
Tbh I rather have sticky buns as currency.

>>11295955
People barter when they can't access hard currency, basically.

>>11296603
They are shelf stable confections with pretty long shelf life (6 months, but usually fine to eat for 12 months or more).

>>11295091
the fuck is that white thing? And that prosciutto is as thick as a steak!

>>11295091
Looks like slices of some sort of fruit (apple? why?), and the prosciutto looks like salami. What a sad state of affairs.

>>11295044
>fucking christmas trees
Lmao

>>11296624
It says "salami dish."

>>11296630
Fuckin' nailed it then.

>>11295044

This place is such an odd combination of comfy and unsettling. Like I’m trapped in a cheesy 1980s wedding

>>11296650
Everyone and everything in NK looks either dead, abandoned or frozen in time.

>>11295123
>>11295115
>>11295108
>>11295099
These feel like going on a nostalgia trip to the late 80s. Seriously, if Kim Jong Un sells that as a package trip I'd go, those were comfy times.

>>11295771
I wonder if he ever goes to reunions.

>>11295067
>>11295197
This. Everyone you see doing mundane things in North Korea is an actor. Kim Jong Un keeps the whole population in underground gulags where he hits them with baseball bats every two hours and feeds them pages of communist books.

>>11295360
That is shredded cabbage anon...

>>11295068
No gasoline clams. What is the point.

>>11296730
That's how I feel, like he should develop up eco/nostalgia tourism because I imagine a lot of boomer South Koreans would pay good money to relive the good old days.

Plus Best Korea has some of the best preserved mudflats and bird migration routes simply due to a lack of development, they can really work that to their advantage by promoting nature and conservation.

>>11296650
why didn't vaporwave ever exploit the north korean aesthetic instead of just being shit

>>11296851
Tomato quarters, whole black olives, and shredded cabbage on an "Italian pizza". North Korea truly is a dystopian nightmare.

>>11297006
>He can't into the alternative universe 80s aesthetic
What a pleb

>>11295616
that tired looking pizza girl IS HOT

>>11296923
requires actual skill and research

>>11295670
I would.
