    i'm looking at various instagram hashtags of dprk cities, and i'm just amazed by the stuff that western tourists write. some of the conclusions they arrive at after seeing/hearing completely mundane things are just incredible

    like i just saw a post with a tourist staying at a beach near hamhung (second biggest city in the dprk). the tour guide had said that the area was known for its big waves, but the sea was completely still the day the tourists arrived. the conclusion? the tour guide had probably never seen real waves before... couldn't possibly be because of the weather or anything like that....

      some lot of the captions are just a creative writing exercise

      one i saw recently said that people aren't really allowed to ride bikes because it's a capitalist (???) mode of transportation, but it's rarely punished. another one claimed women weren't allowed to ride bikes, or drive cars (despite seemingly being allowed to operate military vehicles?)
