life in North-Korea

 North Korea t is a country isolated from the rest of the planet for over 50 years, is within the, nobody, by the constant threat of nuclear weapons, dares to mess with them. There is severe oppression to over 26 million people. North Korea has impressive avenues but there is no one transit, Farmers use trees as fuel and building materials, this left the country with no forest.
What is certain is that in this nation there are two parallel realities, one that goes in the eyes of the few tourists who dare to go there, could happen in a short time you have died of boredom of being a tourist to know that even you can not devote to tourism because you always carry in police custody and is only possible to take photographs of the sites that they authorize.
 
Certainly the North Koreans live in a country where there are no crimes or prostitution, or drugs but the cost for this social cleaness is a deprivation of our liberties,
the country has impressive avenues but there is no transit. The fear is constant in this country and the government uses it to control the whole population. 

Unlike Cuba, North Korea is bordered by the free world. It is perhaps the most watched online world since the father of current leader pounced on the south in the 50's, at the height of communist expansionism. This is the only road to the crossing. The pillars on either side of the road are there places to dump them on the road in case of invasion, thus preventing the passage of tanks. Even in the North Korean government that lives in another era.

North Korea is a paranoid state, where the cult of leader Kim Jong Il is mandatory, if you do not want to end up in a reeducation camp. ''Our leaders are never wrong!''Says a senior North Korean government. When the reporter asks what will happen the day that mistake, if they can be replaced, the same official thinks and says,''I do not know, that never happened ...''

The whole country is a huge paradox: while the ninth nuclear power boasts of his fighting force, half the population lives on the edge of malnutrition. The masses are mobilized daily to keep alert to block imaginary enemies and foreign issuers to not leak any information from abroad.
