'The Privileged' Store in North Korea - Part 1

====================================================
Ok, so this is my 46th video that I uploaded, many people asked me..
"How could you upload youtube video in NK?".
"He uploads the video after he back to Indonesia, because he didn't dare if he upload directly from NK".
Nope..that is not entirely True..

#jakaparker #northkorea #koreautara

The answer is..

I already back to Indonesia, and currently I live in Indonesia..
My first 23 videos was uploaded when I was in North Korea.

The most different thing that when I uploaded video in NK, for a 15 minute video needed two days to upload, because the internet there was unstable due to electricity on off several times in a day..I can’t subscribe for cellular internet mobile because its way too expensive and..not reliable too...
but..when in Indonesia, I can choose which provider for internet and to upload a 15 minute video need only few minutes...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK..
back to this video..
I was going to a store which was located inside the Diplomatic Compound in Munsu District, behind Vietnam Embassy (you can check it out in Google Maps)
Sure..because these videos is about my daily life in NK...so I only posted about my routines things that I am doing in NK).

This store named Pyongyang Shop, which only several people who can access inside, only Foreigners and local Korean people who can get permission to be inside Diplomatic Compound (usually Korean people who works for foreign Organisations and embassies).

Btw.. sorry for bad English and Korean..

Any viewers who understand Korean language might be laughing hearing me trying to make conversations with the locals..please pardon me.

READ THE DESCRIPTION PEOPLE! HE LITERALLY EXPLAINS EVERYTHING THERE.

[deadly]

They have everything in that store except subtitles

[beckyisaac]

the look on their faces when you walked in, was like they never saw a customer. what a strange place though.

[mrchickflick]

Crazy that this is classed as a privileged store when it’s like a discount store in the uk like home bargains 😮 makes me realise how lucky I am

[squangan]

Meanwhile a very creepy version of ‘I Did It My Way’ is playing over the stores speakers system, that’s a very fitting song for the regime. I also liked how she unlocked the cabinet with the battery in it as clearly the hordes of shoppers there would steal the batteries without a moments hesitation if it was left unlocked.

[jos]

They look like they don't want to sell anything

[pirs]

I felt so nervous when the two ladies kept on staring on the camera

[LuthaisRonso]

You see a brief moment of humanity when the shopkeeper who is calculating prices is asked how she is doing....and she smiles back. Not completely broken, still a glimmer of hope inside.

[ReubenWslay]

5:55 I cannot 😭 out of all the perfumes there’s a Britney Spears one on the top right she really did take over the world

[chungus]

"Are you okay?"
"I'm okay"
No she's not..

[kalijasin]

Place looks scary. Very sterile and controlled.

[ray-qdye]

It’s so strange to see common and even poor things being really expensive in the North Korea

[slizzee]

Even though it seems like NK likes to blame the US for everything, they seem to like their music. I think that’s Frank Sinatra‘s „My Way“ playing in the background? :D

[light]

The workers looked kind of pissed with him lol

[buckeye]

The fact that this guy is driving automatically puts him in elite of elite

[ctcv-tokq]

If you ever get a chance to live in a foreign country, do it. I was in the U.S. Air Force and stationed remote in Greece for a year in '76-77, one of the best years of my life. They weren't poor like North Korea, they just didn't need much in their lives and they were content. Upon return to the states I went into a grocery store and realized that we are truly an abundant country.

[GeorgeAusters]

Batteries are kept in a secured glass cupboard? Lol

[GearZenChannel]

3 million people can now unlock your phone.

[Shipfixer]

Makes me appreciate being a free human. I can go to any store I please, buy what I want or need, and I don't go into panic-meltdown if I see a camera. Unreal what these people have to endure just to be allowed to live their lives. I'll bet before you were even half way finished shopping, that girl behind the counter called their gods and reported that you had a terrible evil GoPro on.

[bher]

The store actually looks really nice. I’m surprised to see them have some of the items they do. It feels so desolate and empty though. I noticed there are barely any cars either.
