I've seen a picture like this before. One day North Koreans will have a better life. Nothing stays this bad forever. It will be interesting to see how it happens.

1. In some ways, NK is the heir to Korea's past as the "hermit kingdom"

In other ways, it's just like Baltimore.

2. Without Polock Johnny's. n/t

13. Or pit beef.

3. No light pollution?

Looks like heaven.

5. Spinning like that will give you whiplash.

But I guess it's quite nice North Koreans have a clear view of the night sky as they keel over starving to death.

8. You should spend a couple months there and enjoy the peace and quiet!

I'm sure they'll welcome you with open arms

9. I'm guessing little running water and flush toilet pollution in this "heaven" too.

[GGJohn]

10. Yeah, N. Korea is the garden spot of the world.

4. When freaking Siberia is way more lit up

than NK, that tells you just how primitive things are there.

[Wounded Bear]

11. That light north of NK is not "Siberia" actually...

It's Manchuria.

[hifiguy]

12. Well. Manchuria isn't exactly Vegas either,

but it sure looks a lot livelier than Kim Jun Cartman's sad little prison camp.

Seoul, OTOH, does look like Vegas.

14. That photo is bullshit propaganda

But people here just lap it up because they need to hate on something.

[NuclearDem]

6. Well at least the lights are still on in Baltimore.

7. No light pollution, looks like it could be taken over my part of the USA

Light pollution is not a good thing
